Boundry Park

Got to Boundry Park nice and early so I could get in for my swim before the crowds arrived. The water was quite warm (after the initial first few minutes), I got myself acclimatised and set off. I did ok, or so I thought, went off course a little, not much, but my chest just closed up after 100 mts and I couldn't go any further. I just rested on my back, but breathing was difficult. I slowly made my way back to shore. I really thought I would do better than that, I really just don't know what to do. I am relaxed as much as I can be, the water wasn't too cold, so why does my chest close up, it doesn't in the swimming pool!

I have contacted Tatton and asked if I can do a shorter distance. There is no way I can do 750 mts, but hopefully I will be able to manage 400 mts. I have just 7 weeks. Scary.
