Another visitor, another video
November’s total distance matched and another video captured by a friend…
Best way to spend Boxing Day morning
A big thank you to Julie who had the early morning Boxing Day start to come and see me at 9am.
Two friends and a video
A visit from two friends, one of whom kindly recorded some footage of today’s swim. This swim also brought up the total 5,000m distance for the challenge. So a new one is needed…….
Only 250 metres before new target needed
With almost 5,000m swum already, it’s time for a new target!
Launching the info card in the sun
A little bit of information for those wandering around Brightlingsea promenade to shed light on the strange man in the pink hat braving the bracing water….
A beautiful swim
Perfect conditions; gorgeous sunshine, a warm air temperature and a lively energetic sea combine for one of my best swims of the winter so far…
Hello Frozen Feet!
First swim in under 8 degree water this winter prompted my feet to remind me they were there when I got out of the water!
A stuck earplug and first “After-drop” of the winter
An eventful early morning swim, with a stuck earplug which my numb hands could not remove and my first “Afterdrop” of the winter.
It’s starting to get real……
First experience of swollen red hands
First nicely intense experience in my hands post swim…
Mandatory December Swims done
It’s good to get the two mandatory 250m swims out of the way early in the month in case of really bad weather, illness or injury…
Bright start to December!
There’s something quite beautiful about swimming when the air is crisp and the sun is shining…
Last swim of November
Clocking up a total of 2750m for the month of November. Although not part of the official challenge I’d like to make 10k in total by the end of the winter…
Post meditation bonus swim
Quick ride on my bike to the sea straight after 7am morning meditation
