No running today. I took the young lad swimming and knocked out a few laps just to reiterate how bad I am in the pool (chuck your washing in, shark attack, etc, etc). I've never had lessons which is probably where I'm going wrong. When I was injured (I was out for 18 months in 2006/07) I did spend a fair bit of time in the water and I got my km time down to 18:45 (in a "quick" 25 metre pool mind). Probably not bad by British/Irish standards but any Aussies are swimming sub 15 minutes almost from birth...
With running the quicker you move your levers the faster you go. Simple. You try the same at swimming and with an effort level equivalent to running sub 3 minute kms you are on the verge of drowning. So with that in mind I think I'll leave the triathlon for a while longer...

well matt, if you could swim a k anything like that in the open water, you would be very respectable in a triathlon so don't give up hope....
