O = "Only going 1/2 way then?"

Had what I reckon was one of my two best ever swims ever this morning.

Do not understand why, as this week was another week, where work got in the way of swimming (is this really what is happening or just an excuse I am not sure!). Felt really strong and fluid in the water for parts of swim which is very unusual for me and I had no desire to resort to breaststroke, which is even more unusual.

Ended up swimming from North to South Fistral and back (approx 1 mile). Would have got out earlier on way back but as I swam up to Si who was surfing he said "Only going 1/2 way then?" which spurred me on to carry onto level level with end of car park.

Started retching while swimming and this continued while I went for short run - do not know what brought it on (cold? or apprehension?). Anyway, felt really pleased with my efforts (swimming not retching!).

P.S. Si's coaching methods became a little less subtle when I saw me stopped after running - he chucked a pebble at me whilst cajoling me for stopping...
