I have a feeling of&h is about to be smothered in random postings from yours truly.

Blogging via email

Yesterday I open water swam for the first time ever. Today I am on my second attempt to blog via my mobile via gmail. I am not holding my breath.

Lets see if it works...

Test blog from mobile

Yesterday was my first open water swim, today is my first blog entry via my mobile.
I wonder if it'll work?!
FINGERS CROSSED!

I'm back and determined to blog every day...

I did my 1st ever open water swim last evening in Fordingbridge. 
was quite scared. and it was soooo blinking cold. 

luckily I had socks, my fancy "new to me" wetsuit, swimming hat and wetsuit swim hat so it could have been a lot colder.

the 4 blue buoys mapped out a rectangle of about 350/400m. I was a bit freaked out when treading water at one buoy knowing that I had the equivalent of 4 laps to swim to get to the next buoy with no opportunity to stop and rest by either holding onto the end or standing up in the shallow end.

i did 2 laps

  1. 1st lap 11:59.17
  2. 2nd lap 11:11.86

then Muts and I timed ourselves getting out of the wetsuits as we need to practice for the Eastleigh tri on 30/6/13.

  • I look 1:20.97
  • Muts at 3.30 had got both her arms out.
