Sunday, 5th March, 2006
It had already been 5 day passed, but i didn't hit the target of 500laps of total. Instead i hit a total laps swim of 318 Laps in 5 days. Which means from the first day 40 then every day i did not lesser then 40.
1st of March, Wednesday - I swam 40 Laps
2nd of March, thursday - I swam 68 Laps
3rd of March, Friday - I swam 92 Laps
4th of March, Saturday - Didn't Swim any
5th of March, Sunday - I swam 118 Laps
I didn't swim 1 shot those targets, i swam by sets.
On the 2nd of March i swam 68 laps. Consist of 2 Laps of warm up, 1 set of 30, 2 laps of cool down, 1 set of 30 again and lastly 4 laps of warm down. My first 30 was rather slow, because i swam slowly. Afraid that the pain will come and find me again. Timing was around 31.20 Mins. Thinking that my injury had already say byebye to me. So i did my second set a little faster, to my discovery. It is back, the PAIN IS BACK. Haiz, so i slow down my pace while i was swimming the 18th lap of my 2nd set of 30. For my second set of 30 Laps, my timing was around 29.20 Mins.
As on the 3rd of March i swam 92 laps. It consist of 2 laps warm up, 1 set of 30, 2 set of 10, 2 laps cool down, 1 set of 30 and then 8 laps of warm down. This time round i was pretty happy, i did my 1st set of 30 under 30min, and my 2 set of 10 under 10 min. But during my last set of 30 the pain did come back to me again. Wondering how come i swim so many warm down. It is because my swimming buddy Ivan. I finally swim more then him, then he trying to catch up with my numbers :p. So i did a couple more laps of warm down to keep me entertained. He already won me for the first two days, still wanna win me the third time. So greedy !!! (But he didn't manage to exceed my hit :p)
As for the 4th of March i didn't swim any. It is because Saturday cartoon are very nice :P. And some more during saturday morning there will be quite crowded at the pool. So better rest :p
Here come to the 5th of March, my best hit of the March till now. 118 Laps :p Wondering how many set i did? It is rather quite surprising, i did only 1 long distance set. But is 5 set of 2 laps of warm up, because the pool is rather pack. So can't forcus on my distance swim. Doing 2 by 2 trying to wait for some of the coaches to finish their listen at around 6.30pm, which was around 20more mins to go. After around 10 laps, i found the non-stop lane is rather empty (there is 2 lanes set up for non-stop swimmers to swim). I believe there are some complain in lots of the pool, thats why all pool during saturday and sunday. They will set up two lanes in the middle for laps swimmers.
So i proceed in to start my swim, who know. There was two idiot playing around while i was swimming my 5th lap. Beside me there was a Breast-stroker, in order to cut in front of him. The Keep Right rule came, which is just like those escalator and cars at expressway. But in the pool is Keep Right rule. While swimming, swim on the right. Overtaking on the left, which is the opposite of the expressway and escalator rule(Keep Left rule, and overtake throught the Right). I found this rule is pretty good for everyone. But there is still some idiots who dont understand english (idiots refering to those who know english and don't want to follow the rule) (Excluding those elderly who are chinese educated).
So i overtake him by the Left, and we are nearing the end of a lap. So after touching the wall, we turn and proceed with our next lap, side by side. And he wanna avoid those two idiots who are playing in front of him. He move alittle to the right, which is where i am swimming. I am already very near the middle rope, so i cant move any more. I tried to stick as close to the middle rope as possible already. But i still kanna a powerfull kick from the breast-stroker also. After being kick what normally will u response. Obviously angry right, i am not angry at the swimmer because it is not his fault. So i decided if i swim back and they were still around inside the non-stop lane. I will Knn them.
True enough, the two idiots. They are still playing inside, and this time they are getting near the middle rope. Which can say is the middle of the two non-stop lane. Feeling them irritated by their action, playing around blocking swimmers and causing swimmer to hit one another to try to avoid them. So i stopped and yell at them )!@#$%^&*( )!@#$%^&*( [Nahs i dont yell vugarities, just shouted at them]
"CAN YOU TWO GET THE HELL OUT OF THE MIDDLE LANE", one of them i believe understand what i meant. Then the other one seem to be not happy for what i say. And take his time hanging around at where he is. Then i repeat myself again, "HEI YOU, CAN YOU FUCK OFF FROM THE MIDDLE LANE."
Then he say: "ok ok, you go ahead and swim first." But i insisted he get out of the middle lane first. This time he ignore me, so i just take a short break. And then kick off, continue my swim. In my head thinking, if i saw them playing around in front of me again. I will just swim right into them, using my fist to swim Free-style. And this time the play around outside of the lane. Being heat up by the two idiots, make me very flame on. Maybe thats why i can feel so energetic to swim 1 shot 100 laps of a timing of 1Hr 33min 15sec. Which means i swam a average of 55.95 Sec per lap :)
