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 day

Today was massage day. My neighbour is a physio and I get the most wonderful back and arm looseners!

Tomorrow we r back into it, with a 4km set followed by 3.5 km speed set at squad training. Then a swim on wed, afternoon double set on thurs, sat in the lake then a double endurance set on Sunday afternoon. All up about 35km in 5 days.

Everything is ready for the race now with all the logistics confirmed and ready to go. The boat skipper is attending the race briefing tomorrow. He will get the wave times then.

During my Sunday swim I started to think about all the things I have learnt whilst preparing for this swim. I will post them after the swim but I have at least 15 things so far to pass on.
