It's a Mile

I managed 72 lengths of the swimming pool at Aberystwyth University on Monday, and carried on through for another 60 lengths in the same pool on Thursday.

I'm well chuffed with both sessions, but I have to admit that the 51st length on Monday was very hard going. Strangely though, once I made it to 60 lengths, the last 12 were a dawdle. I completed Monday's session with 24 lengths and a short breather, then another 24 and a short breather, followed by 12 and 12. All 72 were front crawl. The stroke used was also good news as the last time I managed a mile, it was broken down into 15 length segments. With each segment consisting of 5 lengths of front crawl, 5 breast stroke, and 5 with a leg float followed by a rest.
