Schwimmen sieht anders aus ...

This is what i felt like before entering the water (and yes i even have similar swimming trunks, being European and all ... ):











This is what i looked like while in it (and i must mention that Eric looked like a pro compared to me during the first swim session ... it was not pretty!)



The fact that i lost my ohh so sexy swimming outfit after my first start from the starting block (the elastic band that makes sure this stuff does not happen is MIA) and that i could not see anything anymore after 10min of a 60min swim session, thanks to the chlorine and my lack of proper swimming goggles made this first training session just perfect ... cant wait for next week

But yes my goal still stands: swimming 1.5km in open water (read: i cant stop and take a rest at the end of the pool at any time i feel it is necessary) in 40min!
