Some sprinting around the buoys

With the anticipation of a rough swim we had resigned to swim around the buoys. But upon waking on the day we were treated to a calm morning weather wise with a terrific sunrise and no wind to really speak of. the sea offered a decent swell, but not too rough. approx 4ft waves and no real current, just a very light west to east. Sighting around the buoys was a little tough but we are really getting to know the course in all weather so no problems reported about sighting. We did anticlockwise loop with a sprint effort at the end of each leg and a 20 sec recovery and re-group at the buoy - hopefully you noticed a difference in pace, as we said it can be largely due to a harder leg kick and harder pull in the propulsion phase. Swam in groups to keep the speed work suited to ability. well done everyone, good session. Only one swimmer left wetsuit-less today - well done Joan!
