Brutal, but beautiful

Another surprising drop in sea temperatures for the time of year created a brutal swim in just 5.8 degrees. However this was massively offset by the wonderful sunrise just after 8am this morning.

Once again I was wonderfully supported by Alix and Anita who were there to see me off and post a Facebook Live video, which you can watch by clicking on the first picture below.

When I turned around at the 250m marker I had to stop and admire the sunrise, it was absolutely amazing, as was the delicious vegan breakfast and decaf coffee at the excellent Lido Cafe - thanks Michelle!
