Although the Three Provinces swim was a great training swim for the Cook Strait, that was back in July. Since October, I've been stuck doing my training in a pool. This month, my goal is 30 km per week. That is a lot of flip turns, 1200 per week, to be precise. That is hard on my back. But more than the physical challenges in the pool, I need to be ready for the cold ocean in New Zealand.
So that is why I am training in the ocean in California in January. Today, the water was 16 degrees C, the air was 15 degrees and the sky was cloudy. I swam fast and stayed warm, so the 1 1/2 hour swim was a great start to the training week!
