a brief interruption in transmission
knee is still bothering me even when I am just walking to i elected not to go to sweat. it was a terribly hard decision at 5am when my alarm went off and I was so comfortable in bed... :P
still last night I went to the pool after work. actually had to work late so had one of the lovely work meals around 7 and I think that i felt heaps better swimming after I'd eaten. The pool is packed at 8pm it turns out - but dead by 8.30. Definitely the way to go though.
All up I did 2k. Ok - time to face the hard truths about how slow I am...
VERY - 2k in around 54 mins. On the plus side I didn't stop at all and I was feeling great - never got puffed or anything and was trying out all my new techniques. At least I know I can swim the 1.5k. Fast is a whole other story...

that's great news about the 2km continuous swim. IF you're confident about the endurance you have for the swim, then start doing more intense speed sets - 50m, 100m & 200m repeats with short recoveries. Keep doing one endurance swim each week (preferably open water) and your speed will increase :)
What's so special about the work dinners?
they are for free :) and i don't have to cook them. actually i was being fascetious...
The good thing about coming last in the swim is you'll have a ski paddler with you - very reasuring in an ocean swim!
I hope the niggles are just that Ellie, and your preparation goes well.
It's great to see that somebody else out there swims as slow as me. Well done Ellie on swimming 2km without stopping. That's a great effort!
