Hello Friends
I have had a busy week and I have managed some long swims in the pool. Unfortunately for various complicated reasons I have not made it to the sea this week. I am nervous because I am swimming in a race next week and it is the longest swim I have ever done in cold water. I am also driving up to Dundee on my own and I am worried about the long drive in top of a strenuous swim. I am not worried about my fitness but my enemy will be the cold. I am gaining inspiration from reading the journeys of the channel swimmers Mark and Maggie who have battled so hard to swim the channel in August. Harry has also had some words of wisdom for me and has told me that I must remember this is a training swim for me, not a race and I need to make sure I enjoy it.
Today I went to see Ailsa Craig and I felt very small. Just looking at her was awesome but overall I just can't wait and I am determined to complete my challenge.
