Just noticed this thread.
Haven't done anything since last Wednesday in Salthouse Dock Liverpool (five laps of 500m approx.), but will do it again tommorrow and hope to up it to seven.
Crosby marina is good for facilities but really suffers when wind is high.
Even had to do a pool session with the Condors last week.

tell her that you've just developed a severe rubber fetish and you need a new suit to wear to satisfy it  that should work

My OW yesterday was, interesting. After Sunday's disappointing 41:30 for 1.9km at the Swashbuckler (tidal river swim) I went with the intention of slowing it down, thinking stroke mechanics and rhythm. Felt comfortable, realxed and composed throughout, had Garmin on the back of the head and found I'd covered 2.6km, at a pace that would have got me out of the water in around 36-37 mins for 1.9km. OK no tide here, but shows how much getting involved in the biff and not thinking about what you are actually doing strokewise can damage overall pace as well as increasing hugely the effort and stress involved to end up going slower. Happy though, that winter pool work improvements are there, it's just about swimming well and composed on race day.
Will be trying to OW as much as poss before IMUK 70.3, also have Great East Swim (2 mile wave) and an Olympic to get it right.
