5km for the week :o)

Discipline: Swim
Distance: 1 mile
Time: about 45 minutes, but took breaks!

Struggled out of bed not much after 5am , ate two bagels, and headed off to the pool for a 6:30 start. Rather daftly, there was a queue of us, but we couldn't be served until the clock showed 6:30, so there was a real build up of people by the time they started! I eventually got into the pool about 6:40, and there were already four people in the lane, including "Mouldy swimming cap man", who....well - the name says it all! He was there Wednesday as well, as were several other people.

I knew I was tight for time, so didn't take too many breaks, but I did take five to ten minutes out, so probably all in all a time of somewhere between 35 and 40 minutes for the mile. If I can scale that up to the IM then that works out about 1:36, but I really want to beat that. I know my technique really suffers after a few lengths though - I need to work on that!
