Last out of the water

Despite my promises to myself that I would front crawl the whole of swim at St Ives today I did not! this was due to my continued belief that I am faster doing breast stroke than crawl AND due to the fact that even before we had got to the first buoy I was last...

Must:

• Get at least some tuition
• Practise (2 pool sessions a week and a long weekend swim for the next 5 weeks)

I was pleased that I did not 'give up' and despite hardly ever seeing one kept the effort going finally overtaking a couple of people at the end of the cycle and a few more on the run.

According to the results on VOTWO I finished 39th out of 49 starters - which sounds better than it felt!
