The rest of 2011 - between marathons

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

Agree with all of this! My crawl is almost as slow as my breastroke because I too can't get the breathing right, which is also perhaps because I find the idea of dragging myself through the water incredibly dull and boring. Swimming in the ocean is a whole different ball game of course, being far more exciting as you mix it with sharks, deadly jelly fish and bogan surfers of mixed parentage.

There's no way I could swim a whole kilometre in a pool. I think I'd die of boredom before getting half way... which is just as well because I'd probably drown before getting close to a whole km.
