North Bondi Sunday 14th February, 1k & 2k swims
Calm conditions, Overcast, Water warm
A little debris in the water from the heavy rain this week, although the water was good, could see the bottom most of the way.
on both swims I swam through a patch of small stingers "sea lice" where the water was till near the middle of the beach, found out afterwards these were probably tiny thimble jellyfish larvae.
Did the 1k swim as a 'warm-up', distance was a further because the buoys were placed quite far out, distance was closer to 1.5k.
Time 26.34. Co-incidentally that's exactly the same time I did for the short swim at Bondi last month, was about 1.2k and I deliberately went slowly to have a look around the course then.
Went harder in the 2k swim, went out hard and kept up with a pack of faster swimmers for most of the way, slowed a little near the end. Time 40.06 for the 2k swim. Faster pace than last month. Feeling a little better in the water than last week, going out harder and maintaining a faster pace.
