Started a new challenge on October 1st. 31 kilometer of swim in the 31 days of the month.
Doing the challenge with some water polo boys that were on the national team. These gentlemen are very good swimmers. Kick butt!
That is a lot of swimming. It never used to be. Usually evening practice was about 5 km on average. morning practice was between 3-5 km each also.
Started Wednesday Oct 2nd and did 2.5 km with the boys. Had not swam for about a month before that and did not eat well that day. So the swim was long and i had terrible energy. my arms were useless in the water.
I learned my lesson need to eat a lot more...and have been. The rest of the swims have felt much better and getting some good kilometer in.
Up to 10 km now and on the 8th day of the month.
I am taking advice from Dory from the Disney movie Finding Nemo, "Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming. What do we do? We swim, swim."
