Swimming for the Warrior.

Monday 10th September 2012

Swimming

1000M (21.50)
A decent wee swim at lunchtime today. I managed to get the roped off lane in the gym pool so at least I wasn't competing for space with any other swimmers.

I am going to get back in to swimming regularly twice a week now as I have gone and entered a Tri at the end of September and the swim is rather long.  The good news it is a free event which is unexpected but nice.



The colourfully titled "South Armagh Warrior Triathlon" is held at Camlough Lake and Town.
The swim is 2.7K, 50K bike and a 5K mountain run.

It is a funny sort of distance with a swim which is 800M longer than Half Iron distance and only 1K less than the full Iron distance swim.   It will be a good challenge and I will need  to get a few swims of at least 2.5K in before tackling it.
The bike route looks a bit lumpy and the run is basically straight up and down Camlough Mountain.

Should be fun.

So here's to more swimming practise.
