..no not the recession. This morning I had a lesson from a friend of mine who swam for Canada. He summed up my swimming after 2 lengths - stiff! In 20 minutes I had a few tips to go away and work on. I didn't have to wait long to put them into practice. Tonight was a group training session where we covered 2,200m. Perhaps it was my imagination but I thought the tips had paid off. Also a month ago this distance would have been hard but following the 3,000m on Monday it was "comfortable" - can't say easy in case my coach reads it and hammers me!
Running tomorrow with the group which will be my first group run in 2 months - can't wait as this is my chance to shine while some of the good swimmers will find in more difficult. This isn't me being competitive, just enjoying playing to my strength.
