Boy did I find this session hard. By lap 34 I was really feeling I couldn't go on, but I hit the wall, slowly swam over it and by the time I'd reached 40 the end was in sight. The last 10-15 laps seem easier to get through.
There was a lot of support today which really bouyed (eh hem) me along. Three 'good luck/good-on-yer's and another three donating/sponsoring and asking about the background as to why we're doing the Channel Swim. There was only one chap in the pool when I got in and I think he took one look at my fancy cap and got out pretty quick! Not sure if there's a connection, but there wasn't much lane rage with us gals swimming which made the session a lot more enjoyable.
AND, last but not least, I've now done 270 lengths (64 lengths in a mile) and so by my calculations, I've done over 4 miles. Brilliant and that will keep me focused.
