How do you swim a 120 in a LCM pool? Did you stop part way down the length to time your self or what?

you swim 600m and divide by 5 :-)

Thats why you are a math prof Francois!

Maybe it's the moon's effect on pool tides (instead of tidal pools), because I'm having a similar improvement...a sudden gain in speed in the water. I guess we'll have to wait 28 days to know for certain!

WTF is a 120M swim?

OK then the next question is W(ho)TF makes a 60M pool?

I have been around a ton of pools and seen some really goofy ones but never a 60M

This is a very old pool here in Auckland, built in the old English Lido style. It has been refurbished and is a favourite for tri geeks. Outdoor salt water pool, beautiful harbourside location. Trust me, doing your workout there as the sun sets behind the city buildings is something else.

The point of the post, though, was that for someone who reps out at solid 2 min pace, to be able to pull off a 1:28 was not too bad, even allowing for the wetsuit.

I am extremely pleased, to put it mildly.

Kiwipat, 1:50s @ 120m are 1:31.67 @ 100m, and 2:00s are 1:40.
Methinks you are taking 4/5 when you should be taking 5/6. (100/120 = 5/6)
Nevertheless, congrats for the breakthrough!

yeah, thought my maths was a bit screwy!

thanks.
