Swimming

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.

they have a name for that these days, its 'wild swimming' (i.e what everyone used to do before H&S came along) lots of nice books on it now.
probably been said before but riding up to hampstead ponds in summer, belting out a few circles, then sliding back down the hill has to be one of the best London experiences going.
I really want to check out some exotic places like Droitwich spa this summer.
