little add to this, and making up somewhat for an indifferent 6weeks of swimming (thursdays i've been in manchester since feb, so up at 5am... 7h on trains, 6h in meetings, not eating properly, then turning up to swim training and just. being. total. shit).... we had a 400tt tonight, and the coach was feeling particularly cruel and made us do it one to a lane (so no draft opportunities).
5:58.
i've never gone under 6mins ever, so this is really pleasing. my 100m splits went 1:24 (errr), 1:29 (more like it), 1:34 (oops), 1:31 (phew). i had a glance at the pace clock at 300m and knew it was tight so to make it was a relief - once i'd got my lungs back.
