Friday Morning Freakout

The swim this morning was pretty good. Although I was still aching a little from Wednesday night's swimming drill, I was still able to complete the 1.5km swim in 30mins. Since I started late in the morning - about 10:30am, it was only after 11 that I started to run.

Original target was to complete 5km run. But when I hit the 4km point, legs just gave way.... And the pain in my right calf came back to haunt me throughout the run. It wasn't bad enough like Wednesday where I was limping a little, but it was naggin at me the whole time and I had to concentrate to ease up on it whenever I landed on my right leg.

Maybe the heat was getting to me. I think with my cap on, I had the impression that the sun wasn't that bad. It was only after I stopped and took a look around that I realized that the sun was in full strength and doing its best job in a long time. No clouds around to hinder it like yesterday.

In summary, swam 1.5km in 30 min and did about 4km in 22:30min. Fairly decent I guess. Gotta make sure I rest well tonight and hope I can get up in time to do LSD tomorrow morning. Will have to see how it goes - too pain then have to layoff again. :(
