icemaiden Nov 2014 8:04am, 12 Nov 2014 4,235 posts	0 icemaiden What are we going to do while the challenge is not on? I envisage I'll be swimming rather than other forms of exercise for a few more months?

Kimbles Nov 2014 9:47am, 12 Nov 2014 4,695 posts	0 Kimbles TM, you and leggers are fish though lol We could always set up a wee challenge out with the Aspire swim - maybe the Alcatraz swim or Cuba to Florida?

Tomsmum Nov 2014 12:30pm, 12 Nov 2014 1,460 posts	0 Tomsmum Ha, I am not in the same league as Leggers!
Lazydaisy Nov 2014 12:39pm, 12 Nov 2014 9,114 posts	0 Lazydaisy My plan once I've finished the Aspire swim (just one more session will see me sur la plage) is to stick to just the one swim a week but keep the distance at 2k per swim. I'm hoping to do a triathlon for the first time next summer, so 2k a week will keep me ticking over till nearer the time. Joining in with a challenge would keep my shoulder to the wheel, so to speak
