This morning was a continuous 3k swim. It was all about getting the pace right and keeping my mind focused on the task. I decided to break it down into 3 x 20 lengths as keeping count can be difficult. This boosts my confidence for 2 weeks time but I need to get in the open water now to get used to the conditions and the different technique. This also includes getting out of the wetsuit in quick time as wasting an extra minute is 3 months work in the pool to reduce your time.
The weather is going to cool down over the weekend but I'm going out for a big bike ride on Saturday which will be my last before the event. I will continue with normal training for a week (without big sessions) before starting my tapering the week before the event.
Fingers and toes crossed for Neil on Sunday. He's come a long way now it's just a question of sticking to his "game plan".
