This is just a quick post to let everyone who may stumble across this blog and wonder where the hell I have got to with this endeavour that I'm still on my way (in one sense) as the Cole Classic is the 1st week of Feb...so I'm still "in training".
In another sense though, I'm across the line!!! That would of course be in relation to the financial side of the challenge...I have raised $1670 thus far and am very grateful to my financial supporters for getting me to this very satisfying figure :)
As mentioned, training continues, I'm doing 2km in the pool when I manage to get there, following the black line as they say...did you know that the breathing in swimming is quite meditative? This may come as a surprise to those who are not strong swimmers, but it explains why I find the whole thing so relaxing, it's all in the breath!
My speed has not improved and I think I missed a great career as a true long distance swimmer as I'm really the proverbial snail but my natural buoyancy comes into it's own and I can just go and go and go...now if it weren't for the need for the toilet break at the end I'd never get out.
