Cheers TC

Swim was fun…in a holy crap way! Thought I was going to end up at Beachy head!

You didn’t look in your happy place when I saw you…Still a solid run in that heat👍

we had to get swim safety to put more craft after the final turn to the beach to help steer you correctly as you lot were being pushed very hard towards Beachy Head

cheers. ‘solid’ the polite term for pretty cr@p or mediocre :sweat_smile:

I was targeting a 4hr run split, coz hey why not, and was relishing the heat (Lanza comes to Blighty), but I could only manage 4h27 FGS, despite finally find some mojo and finishing the last loop with a real flourish.

Was also targeting sub 4…soon realised that ain’t happening!

Was impressed with how many crafts were on the water. Never felt unsafe and I’m a bit of a wuss!

All set up.

Can’t wait for them to play Thunderstruck on Sunday morning.

Good luck all.

Wouldn’t have minded that at all

I’m planning on doing a loop tomorrow, simply as it’s my best opportunity to do it. We’re here a whole week, but tomorrow is least intrusive on the other plans we have
