This was absolutely brilliant! Colder than I anticipated; mos people were in wetsuits but a few hardy souls braved it in swimsuits – they’re better people than me! 😂 Like in a run it took a while to settle my breathing into a comfortable pace and then I was off. Stopped a few times to take it all in; quite surreal swimming through the centre of London, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Did better than I thought I would. Thought it would take me 2 hours and finished in 1:48. Definitely going to do more of the open water swimming; it’s good for the soul!

So pleased you enjoyed this and it went well as I know you’ve been training hard. I think of all the possible alternatives to running, swimming is definitely the best one for fitness, so happy to keep including it in the plan, even add some going forward if you wanted to do more events like this. Great work Sue.
