Sea swimming hasn't been as prolific of late due to conditions (heavy rain and for the last twice ) but i've dipped quite alot. It occured to me today that my frozen shoulder issue has resolved itself . I don't know if its the power of the cold north sea thats helped or just time itself but i'll take it.

Haven’t been swimming for a week as a bit too cold for me to go from sea to bike to 40-min cycle home. I don't think i'd fancy a 40 mile bike ride after a spel in the cold north sea. I'm usually in the queue for Bovril or coffee pretty sharp !
