Wow, what an amazing swim. Who would have believed a fat old Pom could put in a month of solid training and zoom up the field from his usual finish in the bottom 20% to come 54th out of 270 and 5th in the old fart section.
And as Dawny was the first in the Hahn series what a chance to get a head start on the field.
If only it wasn't for my obviously faulty Timex.
My official time of 37.20, give or take, was a fabulous PB, especially compared to last year's 1.00.44 - almost twice as fast.
Even the obviously inaccurate time on my wrist watch, 50.30, was a huge improvement, but if the organisers want to give me 37.20 who am I to contradict them?
Sigh.
OK Paul, when putting together the Hahn league tables I guess you'd better use my Timex generated time rather than the wonderfully flattering official one. Just remember this when my wristwatch shows a time that's a lot slower than the official one.
Cheers,

You gotta take these unexpected little victories where you can. Sometimes we need a little strategy, stealth & good fortune to catch the faster swimmers. Take the official time as recorded and buy yourself a new watch.
