Day 44 blog (16/2/22)

A nice quiet day compared to the previous two!

It was quite nice to not have a session today in the sense that I could lie in abit, as well as relax abit more. I’ve still had a couple of meetings and kept myself busy which has been great, but on the whole it was very relaxing.

I had a catch up with Swim England today which went really well, as well as with my sport psych where we debriefed the talks and presentations I had done over the last few days. It was nice to hear her perspective and learn from what she had to say.

When it came to talking about how I was doing with swimming in mind, it was odd that I felt really confident today! There was only one or two things we mentioned, but in reality, I’m really looking forward to racing this weekend!

I’m looking forward to having a good race for the first time this year in my main events, and to really test where I am! Work with Zeynep will be done further next week reflecting on the competition but for today, we’re doing good!

Swimming was good. Was slightly concerned about a shoulder niggle, but as weird as this is to explain… sometimes my shoulder gets less sore after doing more metres! Not necessarily hard, but long aerobic sets can help it relax!

A nice chilled evening and moving into the triple day tomorrow and I’m excited 😁
