SWIMMING EXPIRIENCE: 5 meter badge aged 8 and a couple of triathlons where I've employed the Stuart stroke which involves part doggy paddle part splashing! REASON FOR DOING THE SWIM: Actually still looking for a way out, apparently there are some sharp metal objects on the beach at Dover! Seriously though I have always liked a physical challenge and this certainly meets the criteria. If we complete it it will be an incredible achievement especially as swimming hasn't ever been one of my strong points. BIGGEST FEAR : An encounter with a poo fish LASTING MEMORY: Hopefully the swim itself and when we complete it!! However I won't in a hurry forget swimming into someone whilst training in the sea in Budleigh and thinking it was the Cornwall great white shark attacking me.. of course I bravely fought it off and live to tell the tale...

Location: Surrey

Well done everyone with the training this weekend. I thought it was definintly the hardest swimming I've done to date not only the distance but mainly the cold. Big thanks to Andrew for the food, accomadation and coming out in the kayake, it really was much appreciated.
See you next weekend in August keep up with the training.
right I'm knackered and off to bed... !
