2.4k is a long way from a Channel Swim

I swam another 24 lengths today. 2 breaststroke, 20 crawl, 2 breaststroke.
This adds up to about 2400 metres in total that I've swum this week. I don't think I've been swimming 4 days in a row since I was about 12, and back then I wouldn't have been swimming any distance. Swimming lengths wasn't much fun at school (especially since I was never much good at it), instead we used to throw small pebbles to the bottom and dive down to fetch them. That or swim widths underwater.

So despite the fact that I've been swimming loads this week, and am really enjoying it, it's a long long way from the 35000 metres (plus a bit) you'd need to swim across the channel. And although it's not great swallowing mouthfuls (or rather nosefuls!) of water in the pool, it's nothing compared to the taste of sea water. Yeurgghhhh!!! I think I'll stick to running...
