Feb 2008 - swimming again - World Cup here we come

Fantastic news - recovering fast. No more tingling in the toes. This week Ive been given the ok to start training and entering for competitions again - Hooray.
Its cost me alot in additional private medicals and Physio and both Physios have been great.

So it going to be a busy year as I want to to enter the World Cup for long distance this year. Whilst Ive been swimming recently have done lots of 1500m in the pool and now getting regularly under the 18mins. Now time to start working at getting under the 17 Mins. Best times so far have been about 17m 30s. My old bike has come out of retirement and on to some rollers to help with building up the quads and the endurance...... fitness 'garage' picture here.

Ive still yet to work on these starts which triggered the whole episode......

Hi Simon,

17:30 is quite a nice time. :-)
in your garage, the black fin is a waterway, but what kind of fin is that one behind?

Hi - they are both Waterway. The black one is a Waterway '1 wing' which I have used for shorter distances and the brown one is a Waterway glide fin which I use for longer distances as the foot pockets are alot more comfortable.
