Well and truly surf season on the Atlantic coast since mid October, a bit too harsh for any sort of distance, so I gave up waiting for a clear day and made the conscious decision to head to the open adult swim session in the local pool on Monday morning. Nothing targeted, just to get a feel for actually swimming in a pool for the first time since I was a kid doing lessons, relearning to tumble turn etc. Felt very different to being in the sea with a wetsuit.
Anyway, once I got those nerves out of the way I decided to join the local tri clubs Thursday morning sessions, a group coached session. Was landed into the fastest group and took a beating for the hour long session. I was neither the fastest nor the slowest in that group, which was good, but holy hell it was a tough session.
My espresso machine will take a beating today.
