Swim Entry – 29th March 2010
by admin on Mar.29, 2010, under Uncategorized
Distance: 1 mile
Probably lose to 2k. I lost count after about 1500 metres to be honest but I did at least 15 or 16 more laps after that. The key point was though, that I wore my contact lenses.
WOW! No, really, WOW! What a difference that made. I’ve never, ever been able to see while swimming before. It was fantastic! I could see immediately which changes in technique made a difference. Plus, I clearly felt 500% more confident because I was way more relaxed when I had my head down. I knew where everyone in the pool was and where they were heading, no chance of anyone surprising me.
Really enjoyed that swim. I was on fire too. They had to refill the pool after a while because the wake I was leaving was washing all the water over the edge. Brilliant!
Women smiled at me and everything too.

Never swum in contact lenses. Always afraid they’ll get washed out or damaged by the chlorine and other chemicals. Then again I hate swimming

I do wear goggles but even when I wasn’t I had no issues with them being pushed out by the water. But then they are disposables. If they get washed out or damaged, meh. I could have got monthlies a long time ago in my crazy assed prescription but I’m simply not interested. I want something I can fit and then throw away once I’ve used it.
Swimming gives me plenty of time to think about stuff. Which is why I get a bit annoyed when there’s other people about screwing up my rythmn.

I have washed out the odd lens while swimming and had to chuck some afterwards due to chlorine sting, but otherwise they are ace
