andygatesHuge thanks are due to Ehutch for coachly goodness as I swam the 1km stretch of the Hunstpill that her tri club use for open-water training. The swim wasn't a David Walliams moment of glory, but it was a full klick of wet stuff, mostly progressed in crawly goodness.
That's the big scary bugbear of Cotswold nailed. I can do 1km so I can do the lake's 750m; this was a goblin that surfaced at my Bude Awakening and only got bigger as the Exeter Tri mob were all just plain better than me. Goblin: owned. Its evil space monkeys can bite my shiny metal ass.
Race-day will raise my game (it's one thing I like about racing even at my level: "oh wow, I didn't know I could do that") and I've got a couple of stroke pointers to work on to increase the speed and sustainability of my crawl too.
