Ok so the water was more than a little bit rough today for my open water swim drill!!!

Didn’t really feel like going in either but wanted to get an open water session in before the dublin ironman on sunday!

Knocked out 1800 meters in 47 min which should put me inside  the 1hr 10 required to make the cut off for the 1900 mtr swim at  dublin Ironman but I would prefer more of a cushion!!

I’m hoping it will not be anywhere near as choppy as it was today! Swimming in a washing machine is not pleasant!

What I learnt from today? – when you don’t feel like it and the weather is awful  go for an open water swim anyway – swimming in these conditions is great training and can only make us stronger come the calm days!

Getting well excited for Dublin! feeling strong! Fly tomorrow, well later today actually!!
