Welcome to That Traffalon Show, the podcast presented by scientific Traflon and hosted by me, Michael

Erikson. And Jack Hutchens is back in the co-hosting chair. Jack, how are you doing?

Hey, Michael, thanks for having me. I am not too

bad, although I had a rough night sleep last night and a pretty awful swim session this morning.

So ended up finishing the set early. Just one of those days, I think. It's fatigue has built up a

little bit the last couple of weeks. So live to fight another

day. But how are you doing? Yeah, I'm good. I did also actually. I work up in the middle of the

night. I don't know if it was the rain that woke you up as well, but that was it for me. It was

really hammering on the roof. I was going to ask about a training highlight, but since you mentioned

the rough

swim, perhaps we'll take a low light instead. So what was the swim meant to be? And, yeah,

why why was it so bad that you decided to cut it? Yeah, I mean, I'm still coming back from this

crash. So a few weeks out of the water is kind of still starting still showing basically it was a

fresh old session of two hundreds and I was kind of descending the turnarounds as a set that we

talked about a few weeks ago and yeah I was swimming slow from the from the off basically

and when that turnaround started to get pretty tight towards the back end i

could feel that i was through lt2 and it was going to be a real slog to get it done so yeah

in order to kind of fight another day i just called it there and kept the the kind of as it were. I still managed 2K of

fresh old work, but yeah, I had another three, three 200s to go, which, oh no, so no,

2.2K I managed. I missed two. So it wasn't too bad, but yeah, just a rough day, really.

I got a threshold session later on the bike.

So we'll see how that goes.
