Another mile in the pool

Distance: 1650m (1 mile + a bit)
Crawl: 66 lengths

Since I'm waiting to see a sports therapist to sort out my iliotibial band (I'm pretty sure that's what's up with my right knee), it was time for more non impact training this evening. So do I dust off the rowing machine and sit in a freezing cold garage? Or do I head off to the pool...? Well obviously the pool won out. Given the extra time this evening, I decided to go for the mile again. And I clocked up my 66 lengths in a little over an hour. The pool was very busy, with a swimming lesson closing off 3 lanes, and the open area was quite full, so I went in the "medium" lane, and managed to swim all the lengths with only a short breather between them.

Why 66? Well 64 lengths is just under a mile, 65 lengths is a little over a mile, and 66 being an even number to end on so I was back at the shallow end to finish. I even kept enough energy back to sprint the last length too!
