Recovery swim

5.30am start and the usual porridge to provide the required fuel.  In the pool at 7 and was going to have a recovery swim as my body was still tired.  After a 300 m warm up I tagged on to the back of the group who were doing a 300, 400, 500, 400, 300 swim and before I knew it I had completed the session with them.  I did use a pool bhoy which keeps your legs afloat and allows you to concentrate on technique which is going to be my main focus till the end of the year.
I was really pleased with the session as I didn't think I had the energy but something must be working to get me through that one.  But I'm not going to get carried away.  I will allow myself an easy 3 or 4 days and have already started discussions with my coach about my training for Bealach Mor - now that does sound painful!
