Two Days to Go Until Swimathon…

..and I’ve done my last bits of preparation in the pool: 1.25kms on Tuesday, 1.5kms tonight.

When I explained to someone at work that I was easing off in preparation they said to me “ah, you’re tapering.”

I smiled, nodded and thought they were crazy.

However, when someone else said exactly the same thing mere minutes later, I realised it must be a proper thing.   And indeed it is, endorsed by the BBC.

The swimathon instructions came through.  They warn that once you are in the pool, you cannot get out until the bitter end.  Ominous.

Next time I post I will be, fingers crossed, on the other side…
