GM Has the hotel closed for the holidays? Has anyone ever done, or heard anything about, Clevedon SwimRun? It's in 2 weeks' time and I'm very tempted. I've done aquathlons but this is different as you run a bit, swim a bit, and repeat several times. You have to wear shoes you can run in for the swim. It's also in a tidal pool so somewhat different to the pools I do aquathlons in, and of course there's the issue of being caught in a washing machine in a wave start. Am I mad to even think of doing it? |

I was swimrun curious for a while. It's an odd beast.

I think it sounds like fun LD. Can’t figure out the shoes though.

@LazyDaisy Christina a GB age grouper who I coach and is not of this parish but is known to the President is doing that very event Strange things like specific swim run wet suits and swimming with your shoes on seem to be part of this event |

Yes I'm not going to buy new kit but plan to wear my trisuit with maybe a rash vest on top, though currently the water temperature there is apparently 19* so maybe just the trisuit will do.

I'll be at the seaside next weekend so if the sea conditions permit I'll wear my old Inov-8 trail shoes for a practice swim in them. My Adrenalines, of which I have many old pairs, would almost certainly retain too much water but the trail shoes shed water from flooded paths etc pretty quickly. I think I'm talking myself into entering
