Recoil
I swam last night. I gave up half way through to a man walking up and down the pool and being insistent on walking where I was going, when he did avoid me he managed to walk into the path of a lady who was also swimming up and down at speed. He then complained that we weren't in the (full) fast lane, despite the fact both of us where taken up very little room and a quarter of the pool was pretty much unused. Dickhead is the work I would use. :(

Still ill? Perhaps couple of complete rest days rather than doing even easy stuff to get on top of it?

In NYC so training is a PITA. Will try and get a static bike in at a gym tonight and run tomorrow, but client meetings seem to be getting in the way!

Run up the Empire State Building stairs then GR....

Yikes, suddenly got stormy out there, supposed to be March!

Reccers, bane of my life people in the wrong lane. There seems to be a massive reluctance to get in the slow lane, lest that involves admitting that you are not very fast.
Yet they stay in the middle lane even when being overtaken every 2 lengths.

Most annoying is our kick drill man. He swims at a reasonable pace, fair enough. Issue is that his swim consists of 3 or 4 swim lengths, then a massive main set of kick drills at which he is bloody slow. Seems to take up 80% of his overall session, yet because he CAN swim reasonably he thinks this means that occupying the slow lane is beneath him. Causes fucking mayhem every time. Idiot.

I'm always torn, do I go in the fast lane and slow the speedsters or go in the slower lane and have to dodge others.

Personally I go for faster in a slow lane. Etiquette is you give way to faster swimmers so you have to keep an eye out when they are close behind, and give way.

If you are the faster swimmer the slower ones should give way similarly, although some don;t. Sometimes you can also time your rest to get less disruption, I quite often go early (less rest) if it gets me out just in front of a slower swimmer which then means you won't catch them for quite a time.

However the 6am - 7am slot at my Lloyd means that 3 in a lane is rare, 4 almost unheard of.
