We had a great swim yesterday with the fastest 20k in the pool.
This was down to the type of session, we swam a 4k,3k,2k and 1k and then went back up again with nomore then a minute between each set.
A good dip in the sea at 6.8 deg was better then any ice bath...

Felling great today!!!!

Well done all who swam!

With just under 5 months to go to my swim date i'm begining to feel the pressure.
I have a niggle in my left elbow that i need to be careful of, and i'm off to the Bons next week for a bit of work on my Nose..... Its been bugging me for months now and after a visit to a specialist i discover that their is a cure and i won't be divorced for snoring!!!!
It won't affect my training shedule too much..out for no more then a week I hope.
Tomorrow we have our 3rd big swim, this time we alternate between the Pool and the open Water.
The plan is to swim 7 hours in the pool first then out a bit of lunch and then down to Ballycroneen Beach for a dip in the Ocean (an hour or so)....

Mad or what !!!
