Was OK despite the break

[nikkiwabit]

Well it has been a longer break than I thought it would be. In fact have just looked and I think it may be a month since I did W6 R1. However I don't need the kick I thought I might.

I decided to go for W6 R2, mainly because I couldn't decide where to go back to, but listened to my body and had decided to note the time if I had to stop, so I could judge where to start again from. But I didn't have to stop - I did the whole thing without any real problems.

My fitness is still fine but then I have in the break done two significant swims (Henley club to Pub in a great 33:49 - yippee! and the Wales Open Water Estuary Swim).

My legs had forgotten how to run initially, were slow (they had not been used for swimming) and I am sure they may seize up a bit later.

I enjoyed it too, so onwards and upwards

That's brilliant, well done! It's lovely to have company on 'redoing w6'!

Nice to see you back Nikki. Glad the swims went well, it's great that you kept your running fitness too

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

Welcome back and well done.

Even if the running muscles were rusty the swimming obviously kept you in good condition.

Home straight is not too far away.

Go nikkiwabit - glad you had good swims. Enjoy the home straight towards graduation.
