what went wrong
Aug29201110:38 p.m.
Went for the usual open water swim water was as cold as ever been and to be honest I think that as cold as it can get however I was mentally prepared for that what I was not ready for was the complete lack of energy. It was like my batteries just died with no warning, I did not have the energy to lift arms out of the water so had to resort to breast stroke. Problem with this the current was going faster than me so a lot of drifting of course even felt like I was going backward.
Anyway on a positive note i completed a 5 mile run yesterday in 51 minutes with an average Hr of 146 so it felt really easy and I had plenty of energy so WHO STOLE IT.
Race day Sunday 4th where I have to swim the mile hope i recover by then.
