My Updates

Swim day 10!
This was my last swim for this challenge and I was worried I wouldn't make it. The weather had turned and the beach yesterday had the biggest waves I've seen thrashing the rocks and tossing seaweed everywhere. Luckily, I had a shorter swim from last weekend up my sleeve so missing yesterday was fine, and I made it through the murky 'sea soup' for my final one, for my grandfather and father in law 🕊️

Saturday 30th Aug
Slightly rusty after a big night
A very late start today, a slight headache but we still got it done

Monday 25th Aug
Dip, or rather, swim day 8 ✅
This was a special one - for my uncle John, whose stories, wit and intelligence we miss. And for Mwaba, Chikontwe, Munkonge, Chileshe & Kalela whose courage we marvel at. May fond memories be the fuel to keep us going forward 🕊️💛💛💛

Friday 15th Aug
Dip day 5 ✅
I'm at the mid way mark and still going strong. A sniffly nose, cold, windy and grey today yet still totally worth it. Here's to all of the courageous people and their families - we see you 💛💛💛

Monday 11th Aug
Dip day 4 ✅
So this morning started out different, with a 1K jog first and then the dip which really isn't a dip ever, it's a swim for about 1K. Wetsuit comes off in the water so I sit in the shallows for a bit and then I'm out. Rumour has it the water temp was 9°c. Always harder on a Monday...

Is it cold? ✔️ Is it uncomfortable ✔️ do I feel great afterwards ✔️ Is it worth it? ✔️
