It has been a while...and lots of swimming...

I keep starting these updates with "it has been a while"...well it has, nearly 18 months since my last post...a lot has happened, I have finally started running again, now up to 6k (wow....) and I have put triathlons on hold for the meantime....well I cannot run enough for an old let alone a half or full....and

I have entered and completed my second Thames Marathon (formerly the Bridge to Bridge) and the Dart 10k. Also I am currently training for my Windermere One way in Sept, as well as a few other races....

Jun - Great East Swim 2016 - 5k (http://www.greatrun.org/great-swim/great-east-swim#about)
Aug - Inn to Inn Swim 2016 - 2.8k (http://www.nearwaterevents.co.uk/inn-inn-swim)
Aug - Thames Marathon 2016 - 14.8k (http://henleyswim.com/events/bridge-to-bridge/)
Sept -  Windermere One Way 2016 - 16k (http://www.windermereoneway.co.uk)

From the bottom to the top....10miles.....that is a long way - over 5-6 hours continuous swimming...just try to think about that....640 lap of a 25m pool....and in variable conditions depending on the weather...

All in all a fair number of swims - plus I have raised £748 for FRANK Water (You can donate here :-) https://www.justgiving.com/iaindoeswindermerein2016/4w350m3/Donate?clientCache=True#MessageAndAmount) ...so far :-)

As to training...a lot of swimming....yes that is a lot in May...

Over 60km....just wish I could find the time every month....

I will try and update this again a bit later :-)
