I really wasn’t looking forward to swimming today. On the way to the pool and even through the first 800m or so I felt very tired. It may have been down to spending much of the weekend two hours drive … Continue reading →

Easy day today after the exertions of yesterday and given that time was limited. Just swam 2,100m front crawl concentrating on technique, though I have to admit to feeling a little tired and my arms were objecting a little. I … Continue reading →

I had a “get in and swim front crawl” day today. And a worthwhile thing it was. I swam 2.5km faster than I’ve ever done before which makes me quite happy. I did another 500m swim down afterwards to make … Continue reading →
