Christmas Swimming

After feeling quite pleased with myself for getting in a run, swim and cycle in the few days before Christmas, two days of high calorie (and alcohol) intake combined with as much exercise as a fat house cat have ruined me. I plopped into the pool yesterday expecting a disappointing session but came away with a refined technique, a faster, more comfortable pace, and an idea how to help the breathing problems. I'm off out to buy a nose clip before hitting the pool again later. I might look like a numpty but considering I'll be in a wetsuit, with a condom on my head and fighting strangers in a cold river at 6 am, a nose clip is the least of my worries.....
