Trifarm Try

I went to a different lake from my usual one for a swim this afternoon. I really liked it. Not as many weeds as my Saturday morning one and it didn't stink quite as much either. They even have changing rooms...we get changed in the open air on Saturdays!

I had to have a test so that they knew I could swim and that I knew what to do if I was in difficulty. Once that was over I could swim all around the lake 800m or a shorter circuit. I went all around three times. The difference between this one and my Saturday group is that I get coached on Saturdays....here you do your own thing.

So there are good things about both. I'm going to keep my Saturday morning swimming going as I like being coached. I am going to see how many sessions a week I can go to the Trifarm as they are open seven days a week.

As it's a Trifarm you can also do the run, which is a 1k circuit all around the lake and cycle...I've forgotten how far that circuit is. They also have swim/run races every Friday. I would so love to have a go but I work on Fridays. I think I'll have a go during the school holidays when I don't work.

I am now the proud owner of a green hat which means I am ok to be swimming circuits in the lake.

After my swim I went to watch my son in another cup final. They won 3-2. It was bitter sweet for my son Nick. It was his last game, but he got a red card for the last man rule. But a wins a win and the team were happy.

Apart from that I went to Bootcamp, did a run and met various friends and drank a lot of coffee...a lovely day for me.
