Tuesday's swim had some of the fastest sets I've ever swum and made me think I'd overcome a performance hurdle. However, on Wednesday and Thursday my pace progressively slowed. Not massively, but by today I was only able to beat 30s per length a few times, with no 100yd set in less than 2 minutes.
I assume that I started the week with no accumulated fatigue but now I've some training load. It's also worth noting that we're in the 5th consecutive official heatwave of the summer and the walk to and from the pool is quite an effort at this temperature. Hopefully my achievement on Tuesday indicates an underlying ability which will re-surface after rest.
