Legs felt tired during kicking.

Weight: 84.5kg

Met a guy in the pool, Renier, who plays Masters Water Polo. He said he came 7th in the 30-40 age group at Midmar, his time: 24 minutes. I can swim faster than that. He said he might call me if they need water polo players.
Also did some upper body work upstairs.

Am going to train hard this week, especially hills and adding more running. Also have tests at university and must meet with the art designer at Xposure, as my Heartland stories are being readied for printing. Currently have 2 images on www.reporter.co.za.
