Top effort though. I sometimes get it into my head the wrong number of reps and think I've run out of time. Only to realise I've done the wrong number e.g. tried 2 * 40 rather than 2 * 20.

just come back from todays felt easy so its funny how much you can do if you dont over think it

[Beck]

Haha, too funny.  No one can question your commitment!

Hey terrence thats definetly an annecdote to remember 

The only time you can expect a swim that long.
Is on your birth-day!
Since at your age, you body recovers slower than before.

So we aim for frequency and consistency

hard as

I write the session on the back of my hand with a sharpie pen, so that doesnt happen 

[johnlillie]

Sharpie pen? Is it sharp? are you a self-harmer? I know Doc likes em tough, but that is way beyond the call of duty!

[Sugar]

no, i'm self harmer... other than i go hard when i'm suppose to

 the sharpie pen doesn't cut... it's like permanent ink pen, that washes off with soap and water   

[DamienC]

So it's a permanent waterproof ink, that isn't permanent or waterproof?  Makes sense...

this  pen  reminds  me  of  most  triathletes.
before the  race  we are  tough  during   the  run   we  melt  ;-)

Speak for yourself!
