I swam the whole length of windermere on Sunday 10.5 miles in 5H 50min. Great to have done it and felt pretty good at the end

 

That's a real achievement. Well done.

Anyone doing the Iron Man at Tenby this weekend?

So how far have you ran, cycled or swam today?

 

Well it wasn't me and it wasn't today but it was impressive, a school friend of mine has just attempted to swim the channel. She did 8 hours and reached the second shipping lane, about 13 miles. Please check out her page - look at the tweets for photos.

 

Be careful how you work, make sure you never need to use the charity she was raising money for - prosthetic limbs.

I missed your post. I was in Tenby with zero connectivity. My big lad finished the ironman and my wee 7 year old twins finished the ironkids. We,re all very proud - it's a killer venue for an ironman.

Did the coast2coast with a few mates over 3 days at the weekend. Had a brilliant time and were very lucky with the conditions- dry, warm enough and a 30mph tailwind on our last day.

The middle day we had was mega, basically getting over the Pennines and was about 5200ft of ascent. Enough hills in a day for me, but a real buzz when it's over.

The tour was much harder than I had imagined, and I'm impressed at the number of people taking it on.

 

Respect to those who do this trip in 2 days :adore:
