It was 24 degrees and reflecting off the 1km I did on the bypass like a furnace.
Quite a bit of shade on this route.
Only 48s slower than the last time I did it.
Felt easy whilst doing it.
Feel rough now.
Lost 2lbs during the run, and drank 1.5l during. Plus 4 66g gels…then smashed back a 500ml protein shake straight afterward.
So the sweat loss appears to be significant
The sea was gorgeous tonight. When I was swimming the back half of the swim, the sun was just cutting through the clouds, so I could see the cliffs and this ace sunset every time I breathed left. The sun was just glowing the bubbles my hands were making under water. Was dreamy.
Swam out to the buoys 1-200 metres offshore on the way back to get some sighting practise in. Good to know those skills are still there.
42 min swim. No idea on distance as running watch craps itself in the sea.
Sounds like a great swim @gingerbongo - love it when you go out with a training mentality, and then unexpectedly realise you are really enjoying the moment
