The war wounds from last Saturday's efforts have just about healed, and it no longer hurts when I raise my arms above my head. So I was feeling like I could enter the fray again....
I therefore made it to Consett Masters this afternoon, my first pool session for 5 weeks, and I can confirm that (a) the swim was very painful and (b) I was absolutely hopeless.
It all bodes very unfavourably for the Nationals next weekend. But to quote Lao Tzu the ancient Chinese philosopher "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" and I guess I've got to start somewhere.
So back to today but where was everybody? I was in a lane on my own which was good because it meant I wasn't in anyone's way; but bad as there was no one to draft off. I also (very unusually for me) dipped out about 10 minutes early, citing and this is an entirely novel excuse for me "I need to do my laundry" oh my god! whatever next.
