Swimming!

Tri Alliance has two swim destinations - one at Northcote and one at MSAC. I choose to swim at Northcote as their sessions run in the morning and I also enjoy the pool. The location in reference to my home and work is not great but I made a choice to swim there.

The Northcote swim is in the outdoor pool. The lanes are never too crowded as the majority of the squad swim in the evenings (at MSAC) and they don't particularly like to travel far from the CBD.

This morning the air temperature was hovering around 6 degrees Celsius. There was a fault with the boiler so the water temp was around 18 degreesC. Not only was the pool water cold, the showers did not provide much hot water either.

It was the first official week of winter training yet we were still short of a few regular athletes, maybe the chill kept a few people in bed this morning whilst others are still on holidays.

I wanted to share with you a photo taken this morning, it was also Coach Lisa's birthday.
