Well done. I hobbled around the 2 mile in 1:01. Pulled something in my shoulder a few weeks ago which isn't sorted yet so it all felt a bit like hard work, but it was comfortable enough.
Thought I'd applied for my London Classics medal but my name wasn't on the list so I'll have to send over the marathon and Ride London details to get that.
Maybe 6 miles next year, not sure I'd have fancied doing it twice more today. Glorious day for it though. -
Wow. I’m impressed. I can never manage swimming for much over and hour and a half, and even then I’m done for the rest of the day. To do that three times in a day is pretty inspiring. I’ll think of you next time I’m planning on getting out of the water!

Done. 3h41 total swimming time.
Did it as 3 x 2 miles (you couldn't stay in for longer than 2 miles at any one time). 1h10, 1h14, 1h17.
First two sets of 2 miles felt great. Felt tired starting the 5th mile and did not entirely enjoy the last mile (except for the last 200m).
Forgot just how buoyant a swimming wetsuit is, and probably only did 400m of kicking in the entire swim (my shoulders hate me) so I need to ditch the pull buoy and practice kicking as November's 10k is in a pool (so no wetsuit or pull buoy).
Awesome day out. Great organisation (and the Super Six spoils you with a dedicated area and lots of camaraderie) and amazing volunteers all over the place.
