Did my first 6 hr swim in the Channel yesterday. OK, closer to 5 hrs if you take out the puke stops (nothing serious, just an excuse to be lazy and get out for a breather as much as anything). Glorious day, perfect swimming conditions, good company.
Most surprised, shoulders and arms feel fine today, though I wouldn't take you on in an arm wrestle and expect a win. I was doing a slow plod all day, but still expected to be in bits this morning. Less positively, felt the cold quite a bit, despite it being over 14 degrees and wearing a wettie.
