Lap swimming is teh suck
A first from SW today - no run scheduled. Instead, 20 minutes of relaxed swimming.
Massage with Easy Tiger this morning. Looks like I came out of GCM relatively undamaged, just a couple of spots around where shin splints might show up, so those got dealt with. Calves were particularly tight this morning compared to yesterday, but were much improved post-massage. Probably highlights the wisdom of regular massage in the month leading up to the event.
So, after arriving home, grabbed a towel, togs and goggles, headed over to the Ryde Aquatic Centre, and proceeded to swim from end to end of the appropriately titled Slow Lane for 20 minutes. The first 5 minutes seemed to take 20, with the ratio of actual time to perceived time only improving slightly as the session bore, uh, wore on.
Relaxed indeed. If it had been any more relaxed, I'd have drowned.

Thought Easy Tiger might have been feeling it after his race on Sunday.
A huge congratulations to you!!!! I was sorry that I missed you after the event. You looked great out there on Sunday and a pleasure to cheer you home! Ray got some good photos of you at the end and you will be able to download them for free off the run for your life site when they get them on in the next few days.
thanks for sharing the journey with us.... I have loved coming along for the ride! It is the closest I will get to a sub 4min km... let alone 42 of them :-)
Congratulations on your great run at the Gold Coast. I love Fats' photo of you grinning like and idiot with 1km to go :-)
