Stitch!

I haven't had a stitch in years....until last night. Had a proper dinner chicken, spuds, gravy and carrot cake for dessert.

1 hour later in the pool i did a 4x500m session - I knew i couldnt do 100s!. And after the first 500m I got my first stitch!

Stopped, did an old masters minute and off i went again, just focused on stretching out a bit more, and was kind of grand until I drove home, when things went from bad to worse - but laying down solved it quickly!

Maybe chicken dinner can be a nicer feed option to gels (and what have you)!!

  • IMHO, stitches have more to do with breathing than anything else. What you had for dinner was probably too soon to actually have anything to do with what happened whilst ( note the English usage:) swimming. Just my thoughts.

    Eating 2 chicken legs, 2 chicken wings, spuds, gravy and carrot cake def induced my stitch - first time i have had a stitch in over a decade.
