Decent weeks training this week as a bit more spare time at work and really good weekend in Dover gettting pretty much beasted by the Channel General Freda Streeter.
This is the longest I have done in any one week - 27km - in the UK. Saturday was especially hard with 20 knots winds flying around, but glad to get some decent distance under my belt.
Schedule for last week:
- Monday - 3km in Oasis Leisure Centre (technique session)
- Tuesday - 3km in Oasis Leisure Centre (speed session)
- Thursday - 3km in Oasis Leisure Centre (speed session)
- Friday - 5km in Parliament Hill Lido (endurance session)
- Saturday - 6.5km in Dover Harbour (endurance session)
- Sunday - 6.5km in Dover Harbour (endurance session)
Anything interesting happen this week?
- Had first bit of acupuncture this week - didn't really feel any benefit to be honest, but going to give it a go next week to see if it helps!
- Saw the first jellyfish in Dover harbour - after the hundreds encountered on the training camp in Malta it was nice to see a familar face in the channel
- Had a big collision with another swimmer in Dover harbour - split goggles, but hands were numb so couldn't replace them and didn't want to get told off for going in early so soldiered on with one eye shut for an hour!
PS. The picture above is not Dover, its Malta - wanted to put a picture in, but forgot to take camera down this week!
