In 2 hours 12 minutes I did 200 pool lengths tonight! Not bad considering my back was killing after 80 lengths. After 120 lengths I thought, GO ON SON – only another 80 lengths! The barrier has been down all day at Bolton One Pool so as I had a window of above 2 hours it was the only opportunity I’ll ever get. After 160… 170… 180 lengths I started getting panicky thinking “Crap I’m actually out of energy – I have none left – I might drown”.

But yeah baby! 200 whoop – JUST 5 of these and that’s my 1,000 length challenge completed.
