As a challenge, I’m going to run, bike or swim every day in January.

Day Thirty One

Even on the highest setting of my electric bike, the cycle to the pool felt tough. To put this in to perspective, I was feeling beat, even with battery assistance powerful enough to get a 100kg bike and rider up to 16 mph. But with a swim first thing, and no time to thing about backing out, as I needed to get to the pool to get to work afterwards, I got up and was out the door within 30 minutes. By 31 minutes I was dreaming of adding a second battery pack to the bike…

How was it? Tired legs, tired arms. I could tell it was going to be a struggle as I couldn’t get into a breathing rhythm as I was turning in the water. Pooh sticks thrown off a bridge show more skill in the water than I did this morning. I was very glad to finish the swim and, with it, the challenge.
