Stoked to declare that two weeks out from my first race I have swum my race distance in one go!! It took just under 20 minutes to swim 1km, which is the time I'm targeting for my race two weeks from now. 4 months ago I could barely swim 200m without falling apart at the end of the pool. Now I can churn through 2.5-3kms without too much concern, and feel great at the end of the swim! I might even say that I enjoy it...;)
Pre-Race Routine:
Before rugby I used to have a huge feed 4 hrs in advance, then have a can of creamed rice shortly before the game. I'm thinking I'll skip the huge feed but maybe see if creamed rice works for swimming as well as it does for rugby. Anyone got any tips on pre-swim food?
Re training before the race, I'm going to keep on with my current routine, which is about 8kms a week over 3-4 swims. I'll take a day or two off before the swim to make sure I'm fresh.
Any feedback would be welcome!
Wish me luck!
