This completes the 7th week of training for my solo 10k swim. May have underestimated this swim by leaving home a bit later than would be advisable. However I completed it at the tick of the close time clock (had to lobby for my 3 minutes). Triceps were screaming for sure towards the end. Could factor this as a strength workout as well. Next year I need to incorporate some swim specific strength training into my workout. My pull and finish could be called moderately weak. Quite happy I nailed this 8k swim.
