Open water swimming by choice!

It’s fair to say that thought of swimming doesn’t exactly fill me with joy, let alone getting up at 6.10 and driving for an hour to a lake in the middle of nowhere to do it!

All my open water swimming to date has been as part of competitions. I was reluctant to go today as the Dragon ride is tomorrow and I know that’s going to hurt. But as Mark was going and I couldn’t do my Friday evening swim I thought I’d make the effort.

So very early this morning Mark and I made our way to Market Bosworth Water Trust for the open water swimming session run by the 1485 tri club. I enjoyed the swim from the start and ended up doing 3 and a half laps. Thumbs up all round. Now I just need some sleep before tomorrow!
