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

A Sunday afternoon set

It felt so good to knock out a decent set today at Civic Pool. About half of the 11km was speed work, a quarter one arm drills and the rest continuous swimming at 75% (that's my favourite part). Best of all, even toward the end my times were holding steady, meaning there is still lots left in the tank.

This week is the 3rd 'on week' of the monthly program (I call it cranky week). I do 3 weeks in a row of about 25km swimming, one weights session and one Pilates session. The 4th week is half the swimming distance, Pilates and no weights...the 4th week is the most important week as the down time is letting my mind and body rest and consolidate that hard work, thus becoming stronger!
