Ramblings of a racing addict

So after all this time I finally joined a swim squad today. 6am start was a struggle, and wasn't sure how I would handle things. Didn't think it'd be too bad..... 4.5km and a whole lot of tempo work later, and just a wee bit late for work, I survived.

It was great. Swam faster than I thought I could. Wondering if I've just been water lazy?! Seems no real reason I shouldn't be able to go faster than I have been. So things look good.

Only problem is my arms now feel just a little tired.... like my hands are made of lead.
