Week One = PB's!!

Firstly just wanted to say thanks for all the support I've received from you all! The feedback's been great...along with a few "hope you don't drown's".  I've had a few swims this week and I'm happy with my progress.  I spoke with Nick who completed an IronMan last year...he said a fellow competitor had his teeth knocked out by another guy's heel when they dived in to start the swim.  The guy swam, ran and cycled through the pain and completed the IronMan.  Pretty motivating stuff!

Swim Update:
Well, Week One was always going to deliver a PB...kind of like how the first edition of an Olympic Sport yields new Olympic Records right up until a medal is won.  Here are my swims for the week:

Too many breaks and not enough swimming is killing my distance covered and time per 100m.  I'll focus on improving that this week.  I'm going to arrange lessons this week too and hopefully get the first one for next weekend.  I also found this great website called swimplan which gives you up to five free swim workouts a day over a trial period.

Engaging News!
Finally, we had some very exciting news this week.  Paul and Katrina are engaged! Paul was one of my Groomsmen and Katrina was one of Gisele's Bridesmaids at our wedding, so we're very excited to have two of our very good friends getting married!

Prostate Cancer Foundation
As always, I'm swimming this race for the Prostrate Cancer Foundation instead of growing a moustache this November...last year my moustache thoroughly earned the official designation of 'Lame' given by the MoVember Club.   This year I wanted to do something epic, and I knew my moustache would not deliver!
