Keeping an eye on it from here. Remember the no caffeine rule during the last few hours of the run!
keep going !
Done. 22 hours
Awesome stuff- but swimming overnight?? How can anyone do that, knowing all the stuff that’s lurking underneath
Kudos to you all
eJC has viewed all that in advance, russian subs located, sharks diverted with ESP, and the giant squids are currently migrating to Qatar.
I may be wrong but I think they usually sleep there now and set off in the morning?
Following on Instagram, such an amazing effort by Paul and the whole team
Good luck for the swim section
Paul fed and asleep. Kit cross docked. Crew fed. Coach has a glass of red.
Up at 1:30. Boat at 2:30. Swim swart 03:30
Time to go then
Hope not too choppy
Best of luck jc.
Swim start 03:50. Conditions good
Most of the marine predators have probably done their night’s hunting by now I guess
On Gallivant. Swimming well. 60spm
Nice. Good that he gets to look forward to daybreak and has most swimming in the daytime. Hope the feeding goes well and that you remember to look after yourself as well. If you’re too tired you won’t make good decisions for the athlete.
no wetsuit?
Oh man, I didn’t realise it was channel swimming rules. Assumed, as it’s a tri of sorts, wetsuits would allowed. That’s even more mental after all that running first, I can feel my calves going it spasm just looking at it.
You can do it with or without a wetsuit. If you wear a wetsuit then it won’t count as an official channel swim. Most people do it with a wetsuit but a handful have completed without.
