    2K today, just slow and steady. I am more than happy that these days, swimming 2K is merely a matter of willpower.
    It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

    Thumbs up

    Whoo hooo!! After my warmup, my goal today was to swim 400m without stopping (up from my 300m last week.) I managed the the 400m in 10:20 but felt good so I kept on going until I'd done 750-800m in 21:00 even!! I may have lost count at the very end so I'm not entirely sure if I actually made it to 800m like I though but I'll take the 750m happily because that's what I have to do in ther tri. (Of course, that will be in the lake, in a wet suit, with hundreds of other people kicking and splashing me...)

    Oh happy day!!!!

    I've never tried one - not ready to go there yet but here's an interesting video I watched about the various stages of learning to do a flip turn.
