This saturday sees Justine and I attempt our Lake Windermere swim... and I can't wait!
Training has been pretty boring but i feel ready and the recent heatwave has made me desperate to get in the water!
We have shifted our last couple of weeks of training to the pool on account of getting really bad swimmers itch which has been keeping me awake at night... theres no point in training for months for something only to rock up half asleep because you have been scratching all night.. so we have been avoiding all our local lakes!
Recently the open water swimming community has lost 2 inspirational and lovely souls; Jonathan Joyce and more recently Susan Taylor who sadly passed away on sunday nearing the end of her channel swim. I will be swimming Lake Windermere in memory of both these swimmers, writing their names on each arm so they are with me every stroke.
Our pilot Colin Hill unfortunately can't make it on saturday so we will have The 2 Daves onboard the boat and Claire in a Kayak keeping an eye on Justine.
Don't forget its not too late to sponsor us... all money is going to the Teenage Cancer Trust
