It's all going swimmingly well.

5 laps of the lake last night, that's quite an achievement for me - about 4,000m.  It's the furthest I've swam ever and is even more than I'll be doing in July so quite chuffed about that.  The only issue (?) is that it took me almost 1 and a half hours, so based on 2013 results that's a mid-point time but well behind last year's first 55-59 finisher at 1hr 18mins.  I'll just have to make sure I bike faster.

I invested in some new running shoes yesterday and tried them out with a quick 5 miler this morning.  They seem OK, and didn't aggravate the knee so that's a good thing.  Had to beat myself up to get out this morning, just didn't feel like doing anything at 5 o'clock.  Part of it was the weather (dull and misty), part was the fear of more knee issues with the new shoes.  As it was, the knee issue was fine, but the mist turned to heavy rain and I got soaked.  Better that way round.
