Tomorrow is my solo swim to Rottnest Island here in Perth, Auz. A quick run down from my last post. I hurt both shoulders last thursday swimming with paddles. So took it easy and iced them everyday. Wednesday morning got out to the ocean swim 5k with no issues, no pain, and no soreness. The next day felt golden, no stiffness, no soreness. So lets see tomorrow.
I got here on Tuesday morning, 0005, so some would say Monday night. Was in Singapore for a 24 hour layover. Too bad it was Chinese New Year. Everything was closed but was able to check out all the sites and get some great chinese food.
Before leaving, I got a msg on my mobile from an Auz TV reporter, requesting an interview. Now the pressure is on. He stated that I was a top seed to win the event. UGH... This is not the pressure that I need! So I called him on Tuesday, thinking one of my auzzie friends is trying to stitch me up. Nope, could not get that lucky. It is true! I really like going in anonymous on these things. I thought it had to do with the phone number or nationality, but they said they got the top six swimmers and need to do interviews. So I have that lined up today along with my briefing and meeting my boat captain and paddler.
Damn 20k is going to be a long hard battle...
