Follow my complete journey as I prepare and compete in one of my toughest challenges yet...the 2014 Perth to Rottnest Island Channel swim.

Rest before the Storm

Today is the last day of rest before its back into a gruelling 2 months of training. I have found having a week off is as tough as the hardest week of training. The body takes a few days to power down and relax after months of training, however the hardest part is dealing with effects of not having elevated levels of endorphins. The brain gets used to all these good (happy) chemicals and then to essentially switch them off is rather tough.

So the food bottles are ready and the swimming kit packed...i am ready for the 300 odd kms of predominantly resistant training that lays ahead.
