Cracking pace. Current assisted I assume?
After swimming in the sea loads the last few week's, can't wait to get in a river on Saturday for some lovely flat water!

Yeah although not as much current as I had expected based on what mates that raced in previous years had said. I went out way too hard and was gassed by 1km, had to really force myself to knock it back a bit and settle in for the remaining 1.5km.
I think it’s because the tide was coming in that it wasn’t as strong a current as in previous years.
Atlantic has been flat calm yesterday and today, absolute heaven. Planning 3km tomorrow if it stays the same, and there’s a race here on Saturday (I’m doing the 3km), so hopefully it’s calm for that too!

First ever river race, second ever swimming race, 19th out of 131 starters. Happy enough with that, my body had nothing more to give.
