Last week was another torturing session from Seamonsta. At the end of the day, Lala declared that Lane 2 are all snakes. I don't think anyone of us completed the entire menu on that night.

15 x 100m with paddle

The thing abt using a paddle (at least this applies to me), is like running using ankle weights doing tempo run. Probably can glide more with the paddle but the pulling part, requires more strength than usual. The worst part, I think the strength I had between my left and right arms is getting wider and wider. At the end of the day, my right arms is still feeling ok while the left, is almost a gone case. So...15 x 100m with paddle 80% effort, I couldn't pull all the way for the last few laps. Coach pointed to me and I happily acknowledge and agreed cuz it's way too obvious...

Then...the next dish is presented to us..***Almost fainted*** Sure gone case..mind weak, arms weak, everything weak. (10 x 50m with 15sec rib) x 2 all out effort. Imagine doing sprint work after doing loops at Mount Faber...:) Coach already commented that he don't think we can complete 2 sets of it. So... go for 1 set and call it a day. Still...... I think none of us in Lane 2 completed even the 1st set. Some did a few 50ms and declare 'end of the day'. Some took > 15sec rib. Me......declare end of it after 4 x 50m with aching arms till today.......
