A good way to burn off Easter’s chocolate for sure.

The lanes too are wider here, and good pool etiquette by all it seemed to me. @donxle.bsky.social

Today, I focused on just some consistent breast stroke for 80 lenghts and happy with the post-work splash.

One in particular didn’t have great pool etiquette and caused a bit of the traffic jam behind her. Regardless, Tuesday Swim Club was great.

And if it wasn’t for a pesky slowpoke sneaking into the lane, I think I might have even managed my fasted pace yet. Overall, I like how I’m continuing to see incramental improvements, week on week.

And of course, this wouldn’t be possible without our formidable Internal Communications team who made this happen.

For me, for the first time, I facilitated a live panel discussion. We spoke with representatives from Stations, Rolling Stock and Operations to gain an insight into the work them and their teams have been delivering, helping to make a real difference.

That said, a slightly shorter session with 80x25m lenghts, and a slightly slower pace as I recovered from Sunday’s 90 minutes yoga class too. Great way to start the week.

I still need to work on my freestyle form, especially turning at the end of each length, but happy with my session.

It's also interesting that my heart rate is in Zone 4 for around 75% of the session too. Though what that actually means in practice still escapes me.

The results have been great, and as usual I found space to reflect as I did my lengths this evening.

Happy to have also kept up the 2.5km distance and make incremental improvement on my pace too.
