Hard's a bit of a relative term MP as you can see from the times. They weren't eyeballs out proper hard like yours!, but considering this time last year I would have been struggling to get under 95 I'm beginning to think I might be able to do this swimming lark.....

[Limerick]

In Feb I had 25 training session, 18 of these were swim and the rest were runs. Took a few rest days towards the end the month as my little tapering prior to the big gala here in Limerick on Saturday, then back to training again for the world masters in Italy.
Hope to do 20 swim sessions in March, but have to keep up some running and cycling as Im doing a triathlon in April.....
all fun and games...
