Having rested up for months now and as I write this still suffering a week long cold, with a bad back thrown in for good measure, I am looking to the future. I miss my summer open water swims so I am looking forward to so more of that again soon. As a warm up I decided to try my luck at a 5k pool swim, which is a lot more than I normally swim in one go. Unfortunately, the designated session arrived when I was somewhat under the weather but as I had over £300 of sponsor money hanging on it, I had a go. It went well although there was a cock up with lap counting and I think I did a bit more than the required 200 lengths. Still I went under 2 hrs in fact it was 1:57:41 to be precise so no complaints. However, I don’t think it did my general health much good and I am still under the weather.
Not to worry, On Sunday we are off to the villa with Mary and and a bit of early sunshine might help the back a bit.
