And the same thing once again, but perhaps today it was a little easier. And my session today took me up to 15.1km, which is certainly the furthest I’ve ever done just swimming on weekdays. Total distance for the month: … Continue reading →

A repeat of yesterday, but with more tired arms 🙂 I’m just going to keep plugging away at this bilateral breathing until it gets easier, though I might try to find ways to make it a bit more interesting doing … Continue reading →
