What an awesome swim this morning ...

Sitting in the office right now, looking outside at the cloudy sky and pumping wind, it is difficult to imagine I was enjoying a really great swim four hours ago.

Cape Town must be the best place to be training for the English Channel!

A slightly chilly morning at 07h00. Left Robben Island at about 07h45, heading on a good 11/12km swim to Three Anchor Bay. 13 degrees in the water; with outside temperatures topping out in the thirties. My progress was monitored by an early morning police boat, a mid-morning seal and a late morning dolphin parade ... all round, an entertaining morning :-)

A steady swim throughout ... continuous stroke rate of about 68 ... feeling strong and enjoying my swimming immensely.
