Last Saturday I did my final 6 hour swim starting in the dark at 6 20 am. The water never rose above 16C and was still only 15.7C when I finished.
Double plus!
Not only a great training swim, it will also count as my 6 hour qualifying swim for the Channel next July.
This week I will be down to 15k in the river and will begin to rest up in the next 10 days. I am ready to go, it has been a long summer as I have never had a major swim so late in the year.
Rock on!
The 6-hour thing isn't a requirement for Gibraltar, is it? I hadn't read that anywhere.
ReplyDeleteI've done a 6-hour swim before, but in 18C.
I hope not!
