Its the third week and things are getting a little easier even though the KMs have increase to 27.5 per week but the session count has not. This afternoon i actually set a PB for a km at 16.23...not bad considering we did a 6km pyramid speed set last night and a 6km session this morning.
Today i entered the qualifying race for Rottenest, the National Capital Swim. The swim is from one end of the Lake in Canberra to the other. I did the swim last year and it was tough. The water is cool and as strange as this sounds you swim into the current the whole way. The swim starts at the dam and finished 9.2km away at the mouth of the Quenbeyan River. Last year it felt more like i had swum 11 or 12 km not 9ish. Anyways, 2 December is the date and i need to come in under 4 hours to qualify. I don't see this been an issue as my goal time is 2 hour 45 minutes.
