Fish out of water

Swam this morning at Fistral while Si surfed. Thought of going in from other side of headland and round to beach but did not: swam for about 1 hour in Fistral beach area. Tried to swim like the Team GB representatives in 10k swim at Olympics but still 'reach out like a blind man in the dark' (how my stroke was accurately described previously)... Could not get any rhythm in my stroke at all.

Went in sea later for 10 minutes - body surfing - at Holywell Bay where I met up with Julie who had walked there from Perranporth.

This weeks running total for exercise is 3 x cycles, 3 x swims (one of which was rather short, so maybe does not constitute a proper swim - I was in long enough only to loose my watch!).



Watched a lot of the Olympics this week - really enjoyed it, not only from Team GB perspective. I love Bolt and very impressed with Bekele in 5,000m.


(P.S. Arsenal have just lost; radio commentator has just informed me that 'this is the first defeat for one of the big 4 this season' - we are only 2 games in!)

Broke so many of my rules this week - it would be easier to list those I stuck to. Still tomorrow is a new day/ week.

Action points:

1. Have a plan for Saturday morning swims and stick to it
2. Read about and try and enact improved swim technique
3. Start logging on to Norseman site every day to see if 2009 entries open
