So the swimming starts in earnest today and my opener is the 800 freestyle. Now trust me I am no Becky Adlington but I like to swim something early in the meet to sort of  ease myself into it and the 800 for some perverse reason is the easiest way to do that. This was […]

There was the usual absolute frenzy in Binge’s life as she tried to escape for the World Masters Swimming Championships in Budapest. Not helped by the fact that I fly off on a family holiday the day after I return. I know I’ve moaned how a holiday clear up involves trying to anticipate every thing […]

I was determined to keep the swimming up but Teenage Triathlete is back and I found myself being persuaded to take her shopping. The only problem was m Sunday swim session was right slap bang in the middle of prime retail therapy time….. What’s a Bingeswimmer to do? Well it was Fenwick’s last day of […]

A bit of a panic going on as I realise that I’ll be in Budapest in 4 weeks time.  There’s also this little matter of training as somewhat predictably I haven’t been in the water since last Sunday. Compared with previous championships I have done a bit of training this year but it’s never enough […]

I’m trying to fill you in on the last three months of the Binge Swimmer’s life as I am acutely aware there’s been a Binge Blog Vacuum. Being a lazy cow the easiest way is to just use  my old copy from the Swimming Times column, hence the odd reference to my (long suffering) editor […]

  Do you ever have one of those days when absolutely nothing goes right? Thursday for example I leap out of bed at 6:54am to catch a 7:15am gym session, (and yes you did read that correctly a 7:15 am gym session), and can’t locate my car keys. No matter I can pinch Teenage Triathletes’s […]

Now when this blog appeared on another channel there was a tendency to whinge about the fact that Evil Mutant Swim Coach 1.0 had a bit of a fixation about giving us 100’s on a Sunday; for example this one this one  and this one to name three! So I rock up at training this afternoon to find that after Dryday Friday […]

I’m more than a little worried at the moment as I think I might’ve been abducted by aliens and replaced by this automaton hydrophilic entity. Amazingly it’s now 11 days since the end of February and Binge is somewhat shockingly still bingeing on the swimming. What on earth is going on here? I know for a fact […]
