March 18th


Well, it's the middle of March now which must mean I've been focussing on this training lark for two and a half months now - so it's probably time for to reflect on how I'm doing. The answer, up until last week, was very well - despite a ski-ing holiday (see piccie), going back to work, the excitement of Bug turning one and Matt working more hours than exist in each day, I had somehow managed to meet, or exceed, all of my training targets thus far. Obviously, that meant it was time for something to go wrong. Bug got ill, then I got ill and training went out the window faster than a speeding bullet. Today will be my first swim in 8 days...I'm going to take it gently.

Stats:


  • Longest training swim to date: 8.8k

  • Coldest swim to date: 2 degrees

  • Highest mileage in a week: 20.35k

  • Number of times I worry about the cold: too numerous to mention

  • Number of channel-swimming dreams: 2
