The best inspiration is not to outdo others, but to outdo ourselves

Today saw me take the start line at my second swim run outing of the year (the fifth in fun2tri's series).  I continued my habit of finishing it in a very similar time to my previous ones, but managed to be slightly slower overall.  Argh!  However, I shall tell you my tale and stress from the outset that I enjoyed taking part and at the end of that day that's the most important point anyway.
