Rottnest Chanel Swim...24 weeks to go!!

 With just 24 weeks till I hopefully step in to the Indian Ocean to swim 19.7 kilometers from Cottesloe Beach to Rottnest Island, I am filled with excitement, and energy to give my training a massive kick and make this event the best in my life.

With knowledge now that my training partner and I can use the same boat, is a great piece of news, and money saver, plus having just done a swim analysis session yesterday and only having to tweak two small things with my stroke. The head is in the game, even though I was sore when I got into the water this morning.

So from now on it time to up the weekly kilometers to a point of doing 30 - 35 kilometers per week and building on a sustainable pace that I can hold over the 20kms.

 The best part is here in Perth, we are slowly coming out of our winter hibernation and into the beautiful sunny days of spring and into the more amazingly warm days of summer, my favourite times of the year.

The times when I can jump out of bed in the early hours and the sun pretty much being up and being able to feel the warm rays on my body as I drive to the pool and ocean, and just having that awesome feeling of being a live and doing something this is so exciting.

I would say I am "living the dream", even though it would be nice if I didn't have to go to work, but my job is another joy, only if it was outside in the sun, laying on the beach after a great open water swim session....how one can dream.....

Have a great week everyone....
