on target

Spurred on by the peeing rain, decided to extend my time in the chilly embrace of Tooting Bec Lido. The endurance race on 22 January is 500 yards, or five lengths of the lido. Today I did four lengths. The lifeguards thermometer is broken, so I can only guess at the temperature, but think it was about 2 degrees - double the last time I swan in the lido. Four lengths was my training target, as I figured the adrenaline would get me over the last length, but I thought today that I could have swum more. Acclimatisation works!
