I am thinking of doing the first two (3km/3km) then seeing how I go. This year I was at 1.5 miles by the end of May, so 3km should be a good motivator for next year. They should offer a bulk discount as I was thinking...hmm, could I do the series...(OK, not really a reason why they should but it would be an incentive for me!). |

I'm in the Seahorse too. The previous day is the River Arun swim that a number of locals are doing. I've fallen foul of the wetsuits only rule and have, with the utmost dignity, declined the offer from one of the organisers to lend me a wetsuit for the day. So I'll be Champagne and picnic monitor instead - following on from the one we plan to have after the Seahorse...
Another date for the diary- Cork Masters' River Lee Swim on 14th July: http://www.corkmasters.ie/rapid/inde...d=31&Itemid=42 A grand weekend to be sure

I'm also doing the Seahorse swim and the Dorney 10K.
I fancy the Speedo series swim in Poole on 6 May but I am hoping to head over to Dover that weekend. |
