7.15am - Did twice around the pier with Bob, he was speedy today!
Drove to Leicester (3 hr drive) and met with Julie Bradshaw. Chatted for 40 mins about what she ate etc and came to final conclusion (once again) that important thing is definitley carb night before big swim and then finding what works for “me” during swim; the important point is finding what works for me! She has coffee or tea with glucose powder on one stop then tinned peaches (from a plastic bottle) the next and so on; sounds nice to me so might try that.
We then did about 90mins in the pool at Loughborough University. Lots of lengths doing different techniques exercises; breathing, stroke, leg, body position etc. Very useful (tiring after a 3 hr drive) and going to see her in September for another session. Long way to go, but just got to learn as quickly as I can.
Almost 4 hr drive home!
Tomorrow swimming 8am for 4 hours in sea with Fiona and going to do first ever sea feeds! Then 2.30 Falmer with Shep for am hr. Then home to bed I think!!
