What has happened?

Lots of swimming and strength training is the answer to that! Since my last post I have swum two series in Samoa, done lots of technique work, done lots of upper and core strength work and in the last few weeks been back in the lake for a few cold water swims.

What's all this work for...........The English Channel in August 2016!!! Yep I have decided it's time to challenge myself for the ultimate prize, to become a channel swimmer!

Since July I have expanded the Rottnest team to include a sports Phycologist, a nutricitionist and an open water swimming coach.

With the long term goal is in place we have lots of sub goals (10km events) that are focused on enabling me over the next 22 months to build a mind and a body that can swim that haloed stretch of water.

It's all very exciting...overwhelming, tiring and bloody scary...buts it is the right time in my life to complete this challenge!!!
