Finished. It really was a challenge.
Thank you to everyone who supported me, gave words of wisdom and donated!
I am looking forward to 3 days of rest and going back to sprints on the pool.
This weekend will be Christmas decorations and playing Hogwarts Legacy with my wife, who has been SO supportive throughout this.

Really struggled today. WAY under target.
Going to have to really push for the final day, tomorrow.

I wear these swim shorts all the time.
Not only are they stylish but they also make the swim a Lidl bit faster.

Have really bad cold/flu but still went to work and then the pool.
In the water, I have no symptoms. Maybe it's because my body is going into survival, "don't drown" mode, so it turns down the pain receptors and stuff?

Getting a bit worried now. With the bad shoulder and now, I assume flu.
I don't think I can swim for a couple of days!
It's going to come down to the wire, next week.
Hoping Lemsips sort me out, today.

Feeling awful. 3 hours sleep due my body betraying me, once again.
But managed a swim this morning. The plan was 3 swims today but that's not going to happen.

Having to take it much slower. I need to do 2km a day, for the rest of the month. No room for further injury or rest.
Both shoulders are now weaker and hurting. This is the first time I have been held back by the limits of my body and it's pretty awful.
Getting to 60km before November is over will really be a challenge, now.
Fortunately, I was able to draft behind other people, tonight making things easier.
I'm also very grateful for my pool pals, Neil and Martin, for keeping me motivated and moving!

8km run

Shoulder is a bit better but have to swim much slower to avoid further damage.
This means I may not manage the full 60km by end of November as my speed is now halved :/

This one was a real struggle. Only just made it to the 2k point. Had to do some back stroke and 1 handed. Slammed my head into the side at full speed doing backstroke as well!
Right shoulder is very sore, so I'm a bit worried about that. Hopefully it will be better tomorrow.
If not, I will have to try backstroke, more which is much slower, not good...

Should be able to do 2km each 45 min swim. Hopefully this means 30+km by next Monday and and a bit of a break. Each stroke burns at the moment.

Today's swim got me 19th out of 6374 for fastest 500m. I should be able to get that down to 6min 30 secs, soon...

Morning swim, struggling to wake up on the morning. Luckily my wife was there to kick me out of the bed, literally. Missing 15 minutes makes a lot of difference.

The morning swim was rough, practically doggy paddled it. Then the evening swim waa my best ever.
Sadly don't know why/what I was doing differently.
Fastest 100m I have ever swam. Don't think I'll be beating that result anytime soon!
Swims to follow as can only upload 1 photo at a time on here.
