Friday 13 Oct 2006 - Recovery week

An easier week - allowing time to catch up and 'adapt' the the previous 4 weeks exertions. Exciting news - had contact with Igor Orel from one of the Russian finswimming schools in St. Petersburg. Plannning to go and learn from them for 2 weeks in November if I can get this sorted in time. Getting a Visa seems to be something of an ordeal.

Tried my old racing fin today - felt really weird, couldnt get used to it. Have to decide now which fin to use for racing in future. Really cost and foggy this morning - thought of going to the pool was not comfortable. Ok when I got there though. Lots of people asking me how Im getting on at the pool today - nice.
