Crimson red?

The colour is Louboutin “rouge” :roll_eyes::wink:

WTF is that; looks more like a weapon. Harder to lose I suppose.

Yeah selfishly a bit less keen to have the pro race going on now :joy: especially when we won’t see any of it.

We are expecting you to be out of the water before a few of them :smiley:

(No pressure)

Edit: just noticed they’ve got to do a lap first, but you can at least unlap yourself.

has anyone successfully changed the swim time?

I think I did. It had to be done by Sunday or Monday. I think you’ll be stuck with your time now.

:man_facepalming:

I’ve just swam half an hour in a 17 degree lake :cold_face::no_good_woman:t2::sob:

Baltic doesn’t begin to describe it!

Looks like we are only doing 1 lap of the swim :rofl:

I managed 1600m very slowly this afternoon, if I go quicker to be warmer I should be okay :rofl::see_no_evil:

My mate swam in Ullswater over the weekend & guessed it at 13degC.

Haha the thought has crossed my mind, how much of a gap they’ll give Foggy etc and whether I could cttch :joy: reality is I’d only gain a minute or so per lap, I reckon they’ll give the pros plenty of clearance.

Is anyone going to do the practice swim to get acclimatised to the cold, then get out and pray you’ve just timed it right for your swim start? Or just suck it up?

I have no idea who George Goodwin is, but if his Dad is on this forum, then I am all in for G.Goodwin for a podium!!!
