Cut the sleeves & legs of that wetsuit & it now swims fine, or rather, I do!

Did a practice swim in that olde enemy of mine, the sea last week, only managed 0.82miles due to childish panic of sea.

 

Still feeling very positive & confident about this though!

Very Very Very excited for next week!!

 

Thanks Folks xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

OMG!!  It's getting close!  I HATE the bloomin' wetsuit & have found out swimmin' against the tide in a bouncy aid is tough werk!   At least once a week (during the week) I swim 3/4's mile ~ no touching the edges or stopping or standing whatsoever is my rule, if I need to stop I tread water until I'm right again.   Last week (on Sunday, when I had time!) I swam 2km non-stop, Sundays I swim as far in the pool as I can before the kiddies arrive LOL..  But it is cosy & warm at Peckham Pulse, too easy!    My time is still approx 55sec per length, per length being 25metres ~ that means about 55mins I think for 1 mile.  I know it'll be tougher on the day, with the damned wetsuit (a nightmare getting it orf!), but I do know I'm up for it & able.  Last outdoor in the wetsuit swim is in Ramsgate on the 29th.  I hope I get the tide times a bit better suited Ha Ha!

 

Thanks to everyone supoorting me BTW.. Flippin' fantastic!!!

 

Wow!  I must be bonkers to go swimmin' in freezing rough seas!! A whole mile?  I must be absalooooootly crackers! But do it I will, oh yes!

It's for a great cause.  I'm trying to raise a bit of money & maybe some awareness of ALD (ADRENO-LEUKO-DYSTROPHY.) 

My good pals Alex & Aiden are sufferers, Alex sadly is profoundly disabled, but his younger brother Aiden had a bone marrow transplant last year & should get the all clear next year.

Their Mum Sara started up ALD LIFE & raises dough for treatments & respites for other ALD kids/adults & their parents & carers to get a bit of respite every now & then.  She's amazing!

So pleasey please please stick your hands in your pockets coz these people need as much help as they can get.  The illness is relentless & sufferers need extensive care.  It's exhausting work.

Thank you kindly to all my friends & family.. Yooouuuuuurrrrrr GGrrrrrreeeeaaatttt!!!!!

Love Saz

I thought I'd just add a note to explain my training plan.

Once a month I'm going to go to Brighton to swim from the pier to Marine Parade which is just over a mile.  That should sort me out!!!
