I swam in the Henley Club to Pub this evening. When I entered the event I was picturing a sunny summer evening with a pint in the pub garden afterwards...
Despite the rain it was brilliant. And I get to do it all again tomorrow with my mum. 😁

Nightjar - I've been channelling that memory to get into Box End in skins 
Wetsuits were for sailing the Topper when I was a kid, not swimming

Well done poppy. We did pub to club last year. Glad you enjoyed it. Did they still give you a bottle of beer at the end?

Yes, and the medal doubles as bottle opener. But a cup of tea was what I really wanted!

Managed my 2nd OW swim since an iron-distance tri 5years ago.. Wednesday’s experience was hard-going - only managed 5mins in the water, getting used to how cold water affects my breathing, and to the whole concept of swimming again after 5years without any (no pool swimming either!)
Today i managed to control my breathing better, even though it was colder, and did almost 10mins, it felt a lot better. Only downside is I chose the wrong time of year to get started again 🤔🙄

Hey all... that’s my river swim cherry popped. Amazing swim along from Dedham Mill today towards Flatford. Water was just right, cool
But beautiful to the point I didnt want to get out!
Really learned alot about kit today
The things I have already were so worth the cost and I understand more about the swimwear options now... as well as the changing and standing about gear
Rooky error forgot my trainers! Duh! Luckily my swim shoes of choice dried off enough to drive home in
Sounds like some nice swimming going on for you all too this week... I feel so elated having swum this morning.. isnt it amazing
