Swimming

Folkestone - just plodded up and down parallel to the shore for safety reasons. We had some friends on the beach to hand us drinks bottles and food. I had a bottle of water and 2 bananas - probably not enough, and probably contributed to the sickness.

Some of the Channel guys had their bottles and food thrown to them on ropes, so they weren't stopping for more than 10 seconds or so for each feed. Biscuits, cereal bars, grape, nectarines, spoonfuls of peanut butter were all being used.

We got brought on stage at the Harbour Festival and given medals at the end. God knows why.

I say ! :)

No sounds like you didnt eat enough ? Only water too ? Didnt you have any sports drinks or the like ?
