Last big swim

Today was my last big swim before Lanza. 4k in the pool was a breeze - can't believe that's how I felt. A month ago 4k was a big effort but now I'm taking it in my stride. However I'm not going to become complacent because the 3.8k will be in the sea with waves and currents - oh and 1,800 other warriors! I am going to put in a few open water sessions in the coming weeks just to get comfortable in my wetsuit and the swimming is slightly different. Then tonight I ran for an hour in a beautiful summers evening. My legs felt good although some more stretching will be required in order to sort a few tight knots in my calves! Hopefully the weather will hold out for my 6 hours on the bike tomorrow. This is a great feeling being this fit. I'm loving it.
