Now today was just so much better 😀 I don’t understand at the moment why there can be so much variation between days, but today was the fastest I’ve ever done the 50m reps. Not by much, I’ll admit — … Continue reading →

I struggled again today 🙁 The water still doesn’t feel the right temperature. I’m still very hot when I leave the sports centre which didn’t used to be the case. There’s nothing much to do but wait though. And I … Continue reading →

Last swim of the week. Only three this week because the timetable has been changing too much 🙁 It didn’t feel good though. The lane was quite busy and I felt I was struggling to find a rhythm as a … Continue reading →

Still no progress with the pool. It’s as warm as it was last week 🙁 Times are predictably poor, and I really felt as though I was slogging my guts out to go that fast. Even after I finished swimming, … Continue reading →
