Hi Zane,
There are maybe four other swimming blogs who have continued almost as long as Loneswimmer. I had a superficial look at your site though & didn’t think it had much about swimming that wasn’t simply a record of training session content or unrelated stuff. What are some good (swimming) articles you’ve written?
