I have finally started training. I must say that I feel terribly unfit. Haven't been swimming enough. Like last year, I will be recording my time here so that everyone can keep up with my progress. So far:

1. Wednesday 18th March, 1km= 18:57 (I know its only 1km.. slow and steady! =) )
2. Friday 20th March, 1km= 22:01
3. Monday 23rd March, 2km= 38:54
4. Tuesday 24th March, 2km= 38:38
5. Thursday 26th March, 750m (untimed as the pool was too crowded)
6. Monday 30th March, 750m (untimed as the pool was crowded)
7. Wednesday 1st April, 2.5km= 47:21
8. Thursday 2nd April, 2.5km= 44:59

back on track..

Dearest all, sorry for a very long absence. I've been having a bad time and have been somewhat distracted. I know its a lousy excuse, but I promise that I'll work harder.

I've only been to the pool several times since the last post, but from now on, I'll try my best to train a minimum of 3 times a week right up to the swimathon. That leaves me just over a month worth of training, approximately 12-15 training sessions. I'll be training to finish it under 45 minutes.

Also I've been looking at other ways of raising funds. I was planning to busk, but unfortunately busking here in London requires one to have a license. I have requested for an audition from transport for london a few weeks ago (to get a license), but they have yet to reply me. I think they have an oversupply of buskers (which they had mentioned in their website). Right now, I'm not too sure how I can raise the funds so for now I will have to rely on your good will.

As for now, training will commence as planned and don't forget to support me!
