Just back from the pool. Another encouraging session. Swam 42 lengths, which is 1050 metres and swam it mostly in sets of 300m. It felt good and I wasn't too exhausted at the end. Hopefully this will have me in good shape for the first triathlon in a couple of months where the swim is only 750m.
I am looking forward to getting my first open water practice swim out of the way. Still not sure when that will be, but having never done one before I am a little excited/anxious about just how much different it will be from the pool. Obviously it will be cold, murky, more unsettled, etc. But to be honest, any time I've been in the pool there have been about 30 school kids in too and they make some pretty big waves with all their fooling about!
Will hopefully get on the bike later this afternoon.

Very good that you've exceeded the length of the tri swim now! Are you going to wear a wetsuit for the open water? Is the open water lake or ocean?
