Blackbird Leys ( boy) Oct 2014 10:47am, 29 Oct 2014 1,880 posts	0 Blackbird Leys ( boy) Went for an early session.( I'm still an hour ahead of the clocks. ) The pool felt warmer than usual Very enjoyable swim. Started to use tips from a couple of smoother swim sites . It feels so much easier on my shoulders now. Did 160 lengths then called time on myself. Tend to get carried away sometimes and I need to save some energy for my allotment this afternoon. Happy swimming folks !

Blackbird Leys ( boy) Nov 2014 6:38pm, 1 Nov 2014 1,882 posts	0 Blackbird Leys ( boy) Well done Kimbles. Another 2500 metres for me today. Have entered the London Triathlon relay where I shall be doing the swim leg ( of course ) Two of my brothers will be doing the bike and run section. We are all over 50. Should be fun.
