Hudson Hornet

Goal completed 14km 🎉



This morning I completed my 14km goal in the month of March. We also upgraded to a 50m pool .. way harder 😮‍💨 Proud of myself and my team for this amazing achievement 💥

10km was the goal .. I’ve smashed it 🏊‍♀️



Another 1.5kms (60 laps) today, brings me up to a total of 11.05kms (442 laps) completed ✅. I’m pushing myself to do 14kms with just a week left!

1.5kms (60 laps) today - feeling good💥



A new location today & I was faced with the quandary of whether I was a slow or medium swimmer 🤔💭. Which one do you think I chose?

After work swim 1.25km (50 laps) 🩱



It felt good to dive in the pool after sitting at a desk all day. Another 1.25km (50 laps) towards my goal. Swimming solo today but Hudson was with me in spirit ❤️

A new record - 1.5km (60 laps) today 💪



Felt like I got into a rhythm in the pool today, so I kept on swimming 🏊. Completed 1.5km (60 laps).

Smashed my goal & swam 1.3km 💥



Today the amazing Kelli Carson (super fish!) joined me & pushed me to smash my goal .. I ended up swimming an extra 12 laps. 1.3km in total 💥💦

Fourth swim completed 🏊‍♀️



I swam solo this afternoon & really enjoyed it. Hudson sent me a sign .. the afternoon setting sun shone directly into my lane. I know he was there cheering me on 💙

4kms down, 6 to go 👙



Knocked out another session - I was on my own today so did it in much less time because I didn’t have anyone to stop and yap to 😉. Now wearing my Laps for Life swimming cap 💙

3km done 💦



Nicole, Scarlet & I were in the pool bright & early this morning. Now 3km down .. 7 to go 🏊‍♀️

2nd swim completed ✅



Scarlet & I smashed out another 1km (40 laps) this afternoon. Today felt harder for me, having already played golf in the morning & eaten a chicken burger out for lunch 🍔 (I do not recommend swimming after eating this much)!
 

First swim completed 🏊‍♀️



Team Hudson Hornet - first swim done ✅. 40 laps at Nerang Aquatic Centre 💦 Thanks to your overwhelming support we are currently ranked 12th in Australia!
