Well this was my first ever race - was hoping to do the swim in 2 hours 45 mins but was really hoping that i could do it in 2h 30!!!! That was my dream!! :)

Anyhow got a good start, although it was laps so we had to keep overtaking the slower people in our lane, but only 6 people were in our lane, one guy was pacing me and i was him which was good.

The fist mile was pretty easy and did it in 40 mins i was really pleased with that as it was the fastest time i have ever done a mile in! :)

The second mile was when my arms started to ache and cramp set it!! Had to get to the side and massage my foot slightly but it eased and i continued!!

The final mile was great as this was further than i had ever swam and i realised that i was ahead of my ideal time! :)

Overall it was great and i feel really proud!! :)

Not get cramp!!

Only race so far so has to be the best and a PR!!!!!!!!! :)
