Horizontal

This is a post by Jorg Jansen.

Excellent pool session today. We went a little bit later, so that we could do our thing in the 50 meter long/2.20 meter deep training pool. Sanne brought a bunch of weights, so that we finally could figure out how much we each needed to keep horizontal in the water.

I’ll let Sanne tell his own story. But for me it turned out that I need a 2,5 kilo neck weight to do the job. This so I don’t have to swim down every time I make a stroke. And also making sure I’m slightly positively buoyant for security reasons. So time to make a neck weight. And of course we’re going to make a special design, trademarked by Team  Sharkbait!

My daily static routine is going shit. I don’t know why. I really want to do them, but somehow I just forget to do them. They aren’t on my priority list, so I should probably do them everyday on the same time. It’s only 10-15 minutes. The times that I did them (around 8 times this month), it was most of the times fun and a good feeling afterwards. So new start tomorrow for this part.
