First swim.

Well, I've never really done any serious continuous swim in my life before. The most I've ever did was perhaps 8 laps nonstop, which makes up for 400m. The Biathlon requires me to swim 1.5km within 50 minutes in the open sea, which I've never swam before also!

And the organisers requires us to take a swim trial within 14 days of registration, whereby 30 laps must be done within 40 minutes, if not it'll constitute a fail. Should you fail twice, you'll get kicked out from the race. Oh boy.

So let's see. We went into the pool today and with some trepidation, I kicked off to what would be a grueling 30 laps. Unbelievably, I managed to swim 30 laps continuously! I was really pleased with myself at that. However, we all clocked at 43 minutes. Damn it, just 3 minutes away.

And with just 10 days ticking away to the trial, I'm really scared. It's time to train hard. Next session - Thursday.

Things to focus for swimming:
-Learn front crawl and use it effectively.
-Get 35 minutes at least for the 30 laps.
-Get my butt to the gym and start training.
