I got up this morning with the hope that the weather would be fair so I could test my bike out!
Alas, as per usual it was chucking it down and blowing a gale!
The bike will have to stay in the garage for another day!
Instead I went to the pool for a swim.
I expected it to be busy - after all it was a Sunday morning and the weather was horrendous - but luckily for me the lanes were really quiet although the main part of the pool was jammed packed with kids!
I set off to do my usual 1700 metre set.
I was still feeling fairly lethargic so mainly concentrated on my form rather than stressing about pace.
I completed this 1700 metre set in 38 minutes 26 seconds, which is an average 2.16 minute/100m pace.
After an one minute rest I continued swimming and managed an extra 900 metres.
In total I swam 2600 metres in 1 hour and 54 seconds, which is an average 2.18 minute/100m pace.
Hopefully my endurance will be improving with continuously swimming longer sets like this.
The weather continued to be horrendous all day so I still haven't ventured out on my bike and tomorrow night is my running club night so that is another day gone!
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!
