Last week was another hard week of swimming culminating in another 7 hour swim on Saturday and 6 hour swim on Sunday. Today I can really feel it in my muscles. Plus the sun just wants to keep on shining and so my back and neck are bright red. Andrea, my girlfriend, reckons I look like a cooked Richmond sausage.
In any case, the channel swimming season has now started and lots of relays have already gone across and so have a few solo swimmers. 2 weeks till my tide and at some point I have to start reducing the amount I am swimming so that I am fully recovered for the big day. I think this may be from now but I will find out at the beach next weekend if I have another 7 and 6 hours to do. It still seems to me that I haven't done very many long swims but, as I am no expert, I will do as I am told on the beach this weekend. Although the long swims are hard, I actually quite enjoy them.
