Sushi. May 2021 12:41pm, 2 May 2021 28,456 posts	0 Sushi. After last weeks very pleasant 14.7c Manley had dropped to 12.3c today. It’s shallow so can fluctuate a lot depending on the weather. Must be getting re acclimatised as managed 2k today 😀 In other news, tri club swimming training starts again on Sat 8th. Almost 5 months. Really looking forward to being killed by 90mins of drills and sets again 🤣😁
Mandymoo May 2021 1:00pm, 2 May 2021 11,760 posts	0 Mandymoo Pool swim this morning but leaky goggles. Any recommendations and do I need anything different for Open water Have paddled (literally on my SUP) in the sea today - just up to my knees but had wetsuit etc on.
Sushi. May 2021 1:20pm, 2 May 2021 28,461 posts	0 Sushi. I use Speedo Futura Biofuse Flexiseal in the pool. £15-18 price range. Seal really well. I have HUUB Aphotic Polarized for OW. £35 - £40 price range. Both pairs seal really well. I wear contact lenses so that’s important. I was always sceptical about anti-fig stuff but HUUB sent me some AquaSphere spray with my goggles and it makes a huge difference. Just respray every 6ish swims.
