Going on my 6th week of training for Rottnest!

First Post!

I am going into my 6th week of training for Rotto. About two weeks ago signed up for a Master Swim program with a team called the Bethnal Green Sharks. The program is good and I get a lot of endurance/sprint work with likewise swimmers! I almost had a set back last weekend though. Last Friday's practice the had us do about a k of back. I felt my shoulder pop and just ignored it, bad move. Lived with ICE for the entire weekend but had to do a cold water session on Saturday. Only did 1.5k of open water in a balmy 8-9c, in essence I did ice it being the water being that cold. Took Sunday and Monday off. Was back in the water this last Tuesday w/ the sharks, a little sore but was told I could just substitute stroke for my choice. So doing tons of free now.

4 sessions p/w - avg 5k per session
