London Fields Lido

MASSIVE PB, HAMMERTIME!!!

Where did that come from? Felt amazing.

Admittedly I haven't swum that distance without a wetsuit for some time, but I smashed my previous 3km PB (which I set in June 2007) by 4 mins 41 seconds. I knew I was going well after the second 500m and swam 17 seconds under my 1.5km PB after the third. Pulling well through the water and felt like I was gliding well.
