Conforming - Swim clockwise please

... swim session with Peggggggy in Morgan Hill one morning. My swim sessions are pretty much settling into Sunday easy swim, 2200m; Wednesday eve. long swim, 3500-4300m; and Friday morning early fast/hard swim 1500-2200m.

From there we took a traversing path for a couple of hours through alternating bits of path and snowed-under sections. Brilliant! Arriving at the ...

Training update

... edge of the dock, short run and dive. I actually thought I'd have one of the lost breath moments becuase it was really cold, excepot it wasn't. After getting settled in, I'd did 3-laps or about 2200m in 34-mins 48-seconds. Slightly up on my lap time from the end of last year.
