Felt good to do a proper longer swim training session. Felt better about my Galashiels swim time too, as doing a 400m where I was able to relax and maintain technique better, was still only doing 2m 16 per 100m - so that's just where I'm at at the moment...goes to show how quickly swimming can deteriorate with a few weeks of no training - as I was able to maintain 2m10 per 100 over longer distance, and do 100s in 2mins with 15-30 secs rest between each a few weeks ago.

not aiming to swim much, just to acclimatise to the cold water..was a lovely day today, bright, just about sunny through the light mist. Still quite painful though!
