I must admit to being pleased, and to be honest I was a bit scared of the distance so kept a bit in reserve. I was planning to go swimming this afternoon, but I have a sore throat and a sniff, so I am watching the bike racing on the telly instead. As soon as I feel OK I am going to have a go at swimming the same distance a bit harder, so I can see how close I get to you peeps! (with my size 11 feet!)
I am keen to see how you get on with suits, because I fancy swimming in the river soon (I live close to the Thames!) but it is way to cold for me to be in the water for any length of time. Quite a few people do it in the summer, seems more fun than a chlorinated pool.
