Tri Club swimming!!!! 1st time i'd swum since Monday 1st July - it was tough but another great leap forward with technique
Did my strokes at entering the water at ten to two - this reduced my cross over hugely which means i kept my legs together so kept my form which meant i went faster. Excellent.
16/7/13
