Yesterday I ran in my first trail half marathon which I really enjoyed despite it being the hardest run I have ever done! You can read how I got on by clicking here!
Tonight I went for a "recovery" swim but I couldn't believe it when I was greeted in the changing rooms by a full pack of Brownies (unfortunately not the chocolaty type but the squealing girlie type!)
I did contemplate turning round and going home but reasoned that they would be in the main pool and wouldn't bother me whilst swimming in the laned off section!
I was both right and wrong - they were in the main pool but that seemed to chase others into the lanes! Not only did I have to suffer the breaststroke brigade tonight I also had to suffer the barely swimming brigade! There was one woman who couldn't swim more than 3 strokes without putting her feet down, surely the lifeguards should have told her she shouldn't be in the lanes!
Anyhow, I tried not to be too unkind and swiftly overtook whenever possible.
Despite the obstacles in my way I still managed to swim 1700 metres in 38 minutes.
So that is workout 1/6 for week 6 of Jantastic.
Bring it on!
I have dabbled with Triathlons and have decided that for now I am going to concentrate on running and Open Water Swimming! I am very lucky to live in one of the most beautiful places in the UK and to have Lake Windermere as my local playground!
