9 Sept 2007 - Open Water Long Distance
Its a pity we did not send a team to the World Championships last month. I was hoping to do a long distance open water. I completed the 300m in Australia in 34 mins and so wanted to see how I fared in the 6000m....thats a long way.
We have an open water national championships coming up at the end of the month in Wraysbury and the longest distance will be 6000m. ......so here goes.
Ive been down a couple of times to check out the water temperature and ---- well its a bit cold at first but as long as you keep moving its ok. And it really helps if its sunny. Off to try and get used to the water temp again later today....
Ive also been doing some more running to strengthen up the ankles a bit. There is a lovely park near us with a slight hill and Ive been getting to the point (before the holidays took there toll) of being able to sustain a HR of over 160 for the whole run circuit (or 2 circuits sometimes).
