Just call me Adlington

I understand that it is rather amusing to some that I am swimming widths but I'll have you know, the widths section of the pool got extremely busy tonight and there was almost a bit of pool rage as people dared to cross my path! A lot of the people were actually swimming width after width after width and so I don't understand why they didn't just go and do lengths, leaving the widths clear for 'special' swimmers like me who struggle to string 2 lengths together and so would most likely drown mid-length if I attempted it again!

Even so, I'm very pleased of my widths tally tonight - 40 whole widths (it may have even been 42 as I couldn't remember whether I was on 36 or 34 so aired on the side of caution!)! That's 20 lengths, 500m, half a kilometre or 31% of my mile - which ever way I look at it, I'm chuffed and what's more, I think I could have gone further if the casual swim session hadn't been coming to an end! Think of the joy and excitement seen on Becky Adlington's face when she won her gold medals - that was me tonight after reaching the goal I'd set myself!

One of life's most puzzling questions - why is it so much harder to get dry after swimming than it is at home after a shower??
