1 week to go!

Haven't written for a while as I have been battling a chest infection. However, got back in the pool last week and finally the lakes this weekend. It seemed a lot colder and I'm still struggling with the isolation of it all but with only a week to go, facing my demons seems eminent.

Met up with my coach briefly for a few last minute tips. I am now on a carbohydrate diet for the week which is lovely as normally carbohydrates are the route of all evil. I have also ordered some energy drinks and bars on her advice and so should be really raring to go on the day.

Looked up the current temperature of Windermere and it's 15.9 C which is 4 degrees colder than Leybourne lakes so it will be a shock to the system but once I'm in it should be ok. I just really don't want it to rain. The weather this weekend has been horrible and I have my fingers crossed that it surely can't be worse?!

So last few days of training involve lake swims up to Wednesday and then that will be it until the big day. Can't believe it's here and this time next week it will be all over. Have started to think about what will be the next challenge.

Any suggestions greatly recieved.
