Story

Day 1 and the first half mile done. Was quite a bit tougher than I had thought. But now ive done that its should be easier from now on.


After that I just pushed and pushed. It got easier even tho the weather was never really great. Lots of North and West wind. Managed over 2 miles in one swim which took ages and I was shattered after but I proved I could do it, 


Went on holiday nice calm weather and sea that was pretty nice, had a couple of swims then on day just swam and swam. Over 3 miles in 1 swim. 

Inner knee is now hurting with the breast stroke so im calling it a day in 30 miles.


22 miles was the goal that i never thought I would manage so an extra 8 miles was a real bonus. 


Just proves anything in life is possible with determination πŸ’ͺ🏻πŸ’ͺ🏻πŸ’ͺ🏻πŸ’ͺ🏻πŸ’ͺ🏻πŸ’ͺ🏻πŸ’ͺ🏻πŸ’ͺ🏻πŸ’ͺ🏻
