Building on success

I feel like I've made a break though in my swimming and don't want to ease off as it is very easy to lose the fitness.  With 12 days to go to my event I want to keep my fitness level up without risking injury so doing an extra swim session today ticks that box.  It was just me and one other ATHelite so we worked out a routine and motivated each other to get through it - it's so much easier when someone else is going through it with you but on the day it's down to you and you alone.
This week I will also go open water swimming which is essential and take my bike in to have it checked before the race.  My gears were playing up the other day and that could end a race if you got stuck in the big ring with such a hilly course.  The 7 P's are always in my mind "P**s poor preparation precipitates p**s poor performance".  Excuse the expletives but it rather emphasises the point.  No excuses.
