Day stated off with an ocean swim. I felt great in the water and quickly completed 5 laps in good pace and rhythm. As i turned for the last lap (in very calm water) i started to feel rather sea sick, i think it is when i have a drink and i am vertical in the water. I got 500m before i feeling so terrible that i swum into shore.
I tried extra hard not to consume any salt water but no matter how hard i try to keep it out it seems to get in. The culmination of water upsets my stomach and its not long after that the sea sickness starts.
I have heard 'Tums' and the serious sea sickness tablets combined with no-doze can help so i might find a chemist and give them a go. I might also try drinking more water as this should assist in flushing it through quicker and not leaving me dehydrated, as salt does. Anyways, this is exactly what this week was for...to find out all the things that work and don't before heading across to Rottnest.
The pool 5km session this afternoon went without hiccup and i worked on not consuming any water.
