Awesomist swim ever!
Is that a word? Awesomist? If it is, it is probably spelled wrong and if not should definitely become a word.
Anyway, off I trotted to the pool this morning (I was a day late, because I had a stupid ridiculous early flight to Wellington on Thursday, lets just say I wasn’t getting up at midnight to get the swim in). I decided to do one of my more favorite sessions on the level 2 pro gramme and off I went.
The technique was perfect (ok, a little too much), I was feeling the water awesomely, water was whizzing by and I was on form, the hard laps where stylish. I even did a little bit more because I was feeling so much better. The guy in the lane with me, said I made it look easy… well of course I did! It was easy!
This weekend, as its school holidays and Eamon can get some time off and I just need a break from work, we decided to take a extended weekend and go see the parentals in Tekapo. Whats the bet that the one weekend I disappear from chch, that the sun decides to shine. So might get to play in some snow over the weekend. Mum said we could go skiing… No, I said. One of my work mates completely torn the ligaments in his knee due to skiing. Lets just say that kind of injury is not in my plans for the future.
Some snow tubing or hot pools in the snow maybe… I’ll take the bike with me, but if the roads are a bit dodgy I’ll just run (I am on a recovery week, so not all that much training required).





I wish I could swim as well as you! Sometimes I think I’m going well (like, I check my pace against someone in the lane beside me), but then when I actually stop between sets and *watch* the person beside me, I realise how slow they are, and therefore how slow I must be!!
Have a great break!
Ahhh, sounds like a dream. And it’s refreshing to hear it can be done. I’m jealous of people that can swim well. Actually I’m more in awe really.
Hope you have a nice rest with the folks away from the hustle and bustle of house hunting and all the other dreary things that Chch reminds you of during winter.
I actually think Nadia is really disciplined – I’d be staying back in Christchurch this weekend to shop for a bike now that she’s planted that seed in her own brain!!
lol, I did consider that, but the bikes will still be there next weekend
