      Depending upon currents and wind, I am going to attempt a 2.5 miler this morning…

                        Thanks Twin.  My goal was to stand on the beach on 17th August, knowing that I could do the swim.  I'm a little ahead of schedule…..

                                      Beaten on both accounts. I'll go have a beer on her - should help with the smile.

                                        Truth be told, my neck has been giving me some serious gyp today.  I checked it out and it appeears that I am swimming with my head looking to far forward, I should be looking more or less straight down.  Technical fix on Sunday required.

                                            Sticking to the #obvious, make sure you stretch your neck out before starting. Neck twinges are no fun.
