A mile on Tuesday - and at 8 degrees it felt cooler. And two kilometres today. The difference in Tooting Bec Lido is 4 lengths. Am aiming for two miles (36 lengths) by the end of April - when I'm hoping it'll be above 10 degrees C.
Spured on by your distances at this temperature I did 18 lengths this morning - the water was lovely and the sunshine played havoc with my right sided only breathing. I still had to spend a full 20 minutes in the sauna afterwards. I shall try and make it up to the Lido on more mornings now.
I've been doing 22 lengths each morning this week and I'm up for a 36 length challenge before the end of April and most importantly before the sauna is turned off!
Alex - looking at my work diary, I realise I can do Mon 19,Wed 21,Thur 22,Sunday 25 or Friday 30 April for the two miler. I do a 20 min km, so reckon two miles is around 60 mins - happy to do it with you for moral and psychological support.

ReplyDeleteAlex - glad to know I inspired you. Be good for us gingers to meet up sometime? I like your allotment site too.

ReplyDeleteI'll be at the Lido around 8am this week, not sure I can do two miles yet I still get a bit too cold. It was 11C today but I only managed 24 lengths.
ReplyDelete24 is pretty damn good Alex. I'll see what I can do later today. Probably won't meet you at 8am as its too early for me!
