Yesterday felt a lot better than today: I got through 6 x 100m DYN, fairly comfortably. With purging, UTB at 85-90m, without it came at 75m. Interesting to note that I had 90seconds rest between 5 & 6 and without purging did 100m - more CO2 but much easier than expected! I was just going to do 50m and kept going.
This morning I had an early UTB. Did 100m then a 125m where I had a little bit left. Tried to do another one but bailed at 100m - I exhaled a little bit and cracked, was too buoyant this morning for some reason and flopping around everywhere...

An interesting week of training
Monday Evening - Did 3 x 100m DYN, though had a sense of hypoxia. Was my first day back at work which may have had something to do with it, also the lane was pretty hectic!
Saturday - Did 20 x 50m DYN with each 5 on 1:50, 1:40, 1:30, 1:20. Felt pretty easy with some CO2 discomfort in the last 5. I was holding 35sec for these swims. Then did some speed work, doing two fast 50m. The first was just over 21sec and the second was a PB 20.4sec. I really feel I can improve this a lot with some work.
Today I did the same set of descending 50s, only today I started on 1:40 down to 1:10. This set was considerably more difficult, mainly due to the fact that I was conscious to keep my CO2 levels high from the first repeat (i.e. got the urge to breathe at 20m). I held 31-34 seconds for the first 15, the last 5 were at 30sec (but for the last which was intentionally slower). This was pretty hard work!
