Swam 91 kilometers in this quiet little 25meter pool for the month of August..

In amongst all the other sports facilities. (The beach it top right)
My summer outdoor season ended last week. I had a great last 5 weeks doing 20-28km per week over 8-11 swims per week. My swims are limited to 1 hrs max due to pool time limitation, but I was dissappointed at how slow my times were compared to pre covid19. Then on Saturday I put on a "tighter fitting set of jammers" (not a racing set of jammers), and I took 30 seconds off my 400IM and 15 seconds off my 200IM. The 200IM brought me to within 3 seconds of my pre covid time (and this was without a dive) and the 400IM I was 12 seconds off (also no dive), so I felt better that I am getting there as those times were in a swim meet vs just a random practice. It actually seems weird referring to an actual sports competition that I was in during 2020.
On a plus note, I signed up for the Demi Esprit in Montreal on 12 September. Half IM, 4 racers start every 5 seconds spaced apart and bike and run on the Formula 1 race track. So I may be able to get one more event in this year!!! Let's see.
What is happening with IM Cairns?
