My longest ever swim

Having missed out on some *super secret swim options*, I found myself with 9k+ of swimming left to do with only 2 swim sessions left... So it was time to go *big* in the pool. I needed the better part of two hours to complete a 6k swim but I got it done. 1k straight swim, 3x400, 4x300, 6x200, 12x100 and finally a 200 warm down. I was very tired by the end.

But, no time to pat myself on the back. I ran/walked back to the hotel having missed the van ride from the pool then hopped straight onto the bike for 150k of riding. I did most of the ride solo, though Blanco hung off my back wheel for the final few kms... The most memorable kms since we finally detoured from SH1 and followed a coastal road offering spectacular views of corn fields against a bi-color ocean backdrop. Magnificent. Why didn't we take photos?
