I’ve started swimming again. I’ve taken a couple of months off exercise, really, since finishing the Transalp. It felt like I needed a break from the relentless training, and it was good not to have that pressure. But now it’s time to start moving and, although I love Mountain Biking in the fall, I felt like my body needed something other than the bike. So, back in the pool. And, while my mind remembers the technique, the body is struggling. The hidden complexity of swimming requires concentration that can distract you from the fatigue, but after 1400m today, I feel worn out. But good. I hope to keep up 1400-1500m 3x per week for the next four weeks, and then start to move up to 2000m. I’d like to be up to 3000m by the time we head to Tassie in February.
