Paddles

The great thing about using paddles in the pool is how it helps clear out my lane - perhaps I'm just scaring people!

In any event, I was swimming my 30 x 100m set today and this one guy dove in about 2/3 of the way through my set in the next lane. It was as if he was determined to accelerate off the wall each time I turned. It was weird.

I caught myself accelerating to smash him .. but I caught myself because the idea of the set wasn't to smash myself!
