Friday - 3k of CSS efforts with the training squad - still hard work but not as hard as it used to be, so hopefully that's a sign of progress. This morning - lovely long swim in the lake, saw some big fish! And met some friends and their very smily six-month-old there which was an unexpected treat.

Funny thing - and I don't know if anyone else has the same experience - but whether or not I really enjoy my swim is very dependent on other people that are there at the time. This morning was a bit difficult and I just had to get on with it and zone other idiots out.

Sometimes you get someone swimming erratically which makes it hard swim as you have to keep checking where they are! Lucky to have just one other person in the lane for most of my swim today though it was 3 different people. Did have a weird moment halfway through when they divided our wide lane into a more narrow one
Metro_Nome 9 Jun 1:37pm, 9 Jun 2025 8,220 posts	Quote Pin Metro_Nome One of the things I find hard about swimming is that it can be so dependent on others. A couple of selfish lane mates can definitely impact my enjoyment. But then does tend to make swim faster on anger so has its plus side!
