Previous PB
On Saturday, I did a 3 km swim in 58 mins 37 secs at Shah Alam pool.
This was a significant PB for me since I broke my arm.
Then during the holiday period I decided to read my long lost book
"Total Immersion". The cover looked nice I thought.
New PB
On thursday, I forgot my trunks, bought one from the stall at RM16.
Did 3km in 57 mins 3 secs.
My swim time improved by 1 min 34 secs, merely by trying to implement what the book said. It wasn't due to more training.
Incredible man. Swim time improved just by reading a book. And, its not your normal swim book, where the normal advice is "put in the mega laps", then the time will improve. This one, the advice is different ....
34 years of endurance sports. Endured a heart attack and major surgeries, but I'm still at it. Only Open Water Swimming now. Very ably supported by my Thai wife, Tip. We are living in Malaysia and I swim to stay healthy.
