Injuries in the Pool
Yesterday's lessons in Poly was quite sucky... From 9am to 8.30pm in 6the Poly campus... That really sucks dude... My normal timetable is from 11am onwards to start lessons. However, due to the holiday on May Day, I have make-up lessons... Luckily it wasnt Economics or else I would be sleeping in the first lesson... I just need to wait for time to pass by... Haix... Luckily, I managed to end lessons at 6pm. However, I would be having Water polo after that... That really kills my body.
Once I reached the pool, I went to change and get ready for some warm-ups. I know my condition of my legs and was thinking whether I should swim or not. In my mind, it was like 'Just swim la... Wont die at all...' Anyway, we began to swim... and swim... and swim... 400m of freestyle kicks... 400m of freestyle... 100m of butterfly... 100m of breaststroke... 100m of freestyle again... and lastly... 3 sets of 800m with freestyle... That really kills me... especially butterfly... I'm not that good in butterfly and by then, I was having a hard time breathing enough air for myself... To give more information to all of you, 50m is one lap of the length of the swimming pool. Thus, 100m is equal to 2 laps. That's not all... With all the laps added together, it seems that we had swim more than 50 laps yesterday. I just swim slowly, not to get hurt again. My leg muscles are not too stiff than before after the injury... Phew... thats a good thing after all. I think I would be ready fr training soon... hehe...
Bad thing about swimming in NYP is that people tend knock onto each other. Seems like there is a fog under the water and I got poke onto the eye.. Luckily I had my goggles on or else... haha... Anyway, last week I got a scratch on my neck... This week this... wow... What the... I think I should bring my own safety kit with me whenever I have training in the NYP pool... Haha... Alright... Time for me to stop blogging.. I gonna meet Jeremy for gym at NYP at 11... Gonna get ready.. haha...
