14th August - Swim

0.9km - 27 mins
Felt ok - a little achey in my right calf from yesterday, but otherwise all good.
Having swum everyday on holiday last week I was expecting a significant improvement, so I was disappointed I did not get to the 1km point. A positive point was that I did front crawl 100% of the time. Rest points were no more than 10-30 seconds and at the least were every 100m, sometimes more.
It was a shock to come back into fresh water without the bouyancy of salt water.
I found my technique goes to pot when I am tired, with a lot more body roll and slap down of the breathing arm when I take a breath
I went with Claire, who pointed out that my arse is not high enough, and I need to focus on extending my reach (she just wanted to see my ass more).
