Week 4 - Low expectations put to bed!

After 4 weeks away from the pool, I finally made it back tonight! My expectations were low but I was able to stay in the pool longer which I thought would help. In fact, with Billy on a school residential all week I had planned to go to the pool every night to catch up, but the pool timetable had other ideas!!  

There were no general or adult swim sessions last night so tonight was the night and I was determined to make a mile no matter how long it took me and, with the general swim and adult swim together, I had 2 3/4 hours available so as long as I had the stamina, I had no excuse!  I decided to play it safe and start in the general swim then keep going into the adult swim until I'd done 64 lengths.

As usual, the first 45 mins were a bit of a nightmare as it was so busy and I also stopped a couple of times for a chat with the 'regulars' as they hadn't seen me for a while, which was nice! Once the pool cleared a bit it was much easier and nicer and I made it to 1600m 😁

I still felt OK so carried on for a bit until nature called.  I knew if I got out I would never get back in so I made it to 2000m before deciding I really needed to get out!

I was so chuffed! 2000m (80 lengths)happy with my effort tonight! Just need to get a few more of them in now to catch up to where I should be to complete my 11 miles on time 😁
