Half a kilometre in half an hour

I was planning a swim on the way home from work today, before heading straight out to a gig in Oxford, but the Wantage pool isn't free for general swimming until 8pm, so I popped into Didcot at lunchtime instead. Luckily my 1pm meeting was postponed until Wednesday which meant I wouldn't have to miss out on swimming today (and get in that all important practice before my next lesson on Wednesday). I managed 20 lengths: 10 breaststroke; 4 crawl; 6 breaststroke. I've kind of got the hang of what to do with my feet, but they're not quite there yet. Still, it's a lot better than a few weeks ago. Crawl was a bit rubbish, every time I tried to swim with my head down and only breath every 4 strokes, I ended up getting water up my nose. Perhaps I was instinctively trying to breath in when breathing out under water?! Ah well, I've all that to learn.

Back to the running tomorrow.
