Thursday night swim

We went to the lake for a swim and met 8 others from the club - plan was to head out to the island and back. Into the water and away with us, after about 12 minutes we stopped to regroup and make sure everybody was feeling up for the remainder. All thumbs up and so out the rest of the way to the island. I got there and waded in to about 20m from the shore. Felt good and relaxed, I was there in just over 30 minutes and the rest of the group were there very soon after. A few minutes to catch breath and then it was back in one go the the slipway into the lake - Back in the same time so the full 3.6km in 61 minutes, Declan 'Reggie' was a few minutes after me in 69 and was happy with his swim also. He sighted well and arrived in a very straight line. Shore sighting was a good exercise and also judging the current which was very gentle. We did a short run on the road for about 10 minutes in the wetsuits, first run in the wetsuits and it went good. Afterwards we all had a good chat and enjoyed jaffa cakes and maderia cake, Tasty! Next swim is on Thursday so that should be another good excuse to try out a few runs and swim repeats.
