Training Session number 4

Yes, I'm still trying.  I'm doing okay, although I still don't get how other people just seem to swim on and on and on without getting breathless.  I myself do get breathless, and according to my training schedule, that is a GOOD THING. 

I've now manged to swim almost a kilometre in the Caribbean Sea, as you can see from my updated map:

I'll be spending sometime in Chevy's calypso Bar and Grill, methinks.  I deserve it.

As soon as my kit is dry, however, I'll be off again.

P.S.  I did fourteen lengths today.  Forgot to mention that.

So, things are going okay again - I'm getting better - not good, but better, and feeling quite proud of myself.   Then came training session number 5:

Training session number five

20 lengths in 35 minutes.  May not sound like a lot to you, but it's a helluva achievement to me!

 Fee-eelin' good!   Stay tuned, there's more to come.
