This is the next challenge in Nov. Then swimathon next spring to get under 30mins for the 1.5k whilst in training doing the aspire swim the channel challenge if it's in the new year again. That's the plan. So lots of hours at Portland pool :)
Marathon swim sounds good. Do you plan to do it solo or as part of a team? The longest I've ever done is 2.4 miles in an Ironman Triathlon: a lake swim (Sherborne,Dorset in 2005) not sure I could cope with it in a pool!
@newbank Good plan. Gently does it... good to do these things with some support too. Symptoms of what could become an addiction to exercise, if it isn't so already? Well, there are worse things to get hooked on! Did you do the 'channel challenge'? Big sigh for Portland! I seldom visit Nottingham these days but maybe I'll get to swim in the old pool someday.
@yrhenwr Last year channel swim was Sept-Dec. I was out of action for it. Plan was to do it this year, have discovered though that this year it has already happened Jan-Apr so I've missed it!
@newbank Such a shame. Bad planning on their part! But you'll have plenty of time to prepare for the next one. I'll look out for it but its unlikely to be on in Aberystwyth.
