Wow, beetle. You're amazing! Thank you for answering all my questions!
I'm in awe of your accomplishment- and not wearing a wetsuit is just mind boggling in those temps. I guess I shall not complain about the "cold" water early in the season (which is still warmer than your swim water).
Sounds like you did an exceptional job of setting up your own training and doing everything you needed to do. I'm impressed at your efforts in creating a program for yourself. And just like long distance running, I'm sure all the time you spent swimming made your shoulders a bit sore and overused. Anytime you do one thing, your body takes a beating. That's why I like tris so much- plenty of variety and the muscles don't have time to be hurt and overused.
If you have any pictures from that event, I know I would like to see them (and I'm sure others here would love it as well).
Congratulations again on your accomplishment.
Oh, and I'm glad you like the book. It's pretty good!

For what it's worth, I am using this book to plan my training this year. Hopefully it will help keep me a bit more focused. It looks like it may work (that is, if I follow what I write
)
And Beetle - awesome job on swimming the Channel. That's amazing!

Hi Mel1976,
I have just shot off a PM asking whether you still have the copy of "Going Long" and are wanting to sell it.
I hope so!!
