Day 71 (camp day 5 15/3/22)

Racing stand up time!

Felt abit out of it this morning, like the world was passing me by abit, but once I had my coffee I was feeling more ready for the day (my savior!).

Just the one session in the pool and it was all geared around 3 suited broken swims. This is one of our main preparation sessions for trials.

As it is, I wanted to get used to having pressure on me to swim fast, so I put pressure on myself to swim fast. I don’t normally like to do this in training and won’t make this a habit, but I want to understand how it will feel at trials.

The session went really well, and I achieved 90% of my goals for the session. My back 100s were my main focus and they were awesome so I’m very happy.

Rest of the day consisted of a gym session, followed by a squad meal which was awesome, I love mixing with loads of different people everyday, especially people who I wouldn’t normally, it makes me feel closer to the squad and I enjoy that.

After dinner finished off the evening with a salsa class, Beth was my main partner and it was great fun! Would definitely do something like that again, and it was so refreshing to do something different.

We’re only away for a week, so we might as well take all the chances we can before we go home 😁

Threshold tomorrow and done by 12:30, let’s see what tomorrow brings 😁
