positive conversation

Hi all,

Thought I'd update you, since the spider bite and leg pain! Antihistamines working and I'm feeling a lot better. Phew!

This morning I cycled back from Aerobics *whoop whoop* to the leisure centre to get swim times for today.
As I was about to leave Lesley (my ex's old school teacher and fitness hero of mine) walked out and got onto her bike.

We got chatting about triathlons, she is awesome, she's been doing tri's for 18 years and is nearly 60 and has got better and better at them. best in her age in Bristol last week!

I've always looked up to her as she trains so so hard and so fit for her age, she is what I want to be like at her age - Legend!

We talked about the swimming element and she gave me so so many words of confidence and advice I've come away beaming! She also said she had every confidence in me, which was what I really needed.

She did her first few tri swims doing breaststroke and said that there is nothing wrong with doing that if I'm comfortable, but eventually the best way is to do crawl.

Her wisdom and encouragement have given me that extra little bit that I needed to get me on track fully with my training, I am becoming more confident in the water and the more I do the more I will get better.

Last night I did 2 lengths on my back (no jokes please) I would never have dreamt of that a month ago.

Anyway, wanted to share my ever so positive special moment with you, when your fitness hero gives you encouragement, then you go for it and make them and yourself proud!

Thanks Lesley, you are ace!
