Swim

Total disaster today. went swimming at 7.30 in Heron Lake. first short lap went OK, but really struggled breathing and my old Aquasphere goggles steamed up.

Switched to the new Speedo goggles and attempted a full lap of the lake. Found that my breathing was much better now, perhaps I'd gotten used to the water, or maybe my suit was warmed up.

Half way round, did a long kick, and both calfs went into spasm with cramp. Luckily my wetsuit meant I stayed buoyant, but it was really painful.

Managed to get back shore again OK, even did a bit of front crawl which is improving after last weeks wash-out.

Worried about my legs though, this could take a while to get better, and my race is only a week away.
