    Gave in to the inevitable yesterday and went to a sports physio.  She seems to have me on the path to recovery.  I'm debating whether to celebrate with a 3 miler this morning…..

        I debated and decided not to risk it.  I have a physio session tomorrow and on Sunday, the first group swim with most/all of the other swimmers…..

              Today is the first official training swim.  I have no idea what it involves, other than  BBQ on the beach.  I have to admit that I am feeling a little apprehensive, there will be 17 other swimmers and I guess there will be some sort of "can the silly fecker swim in a straight line" assessment going on…....I can give them the answer to that without getting wet.....

                  You've got the best ice-breaker of all time. Freak em out, have a laugh and be sure to upsell the denims & discounts :).

                      Funnily enough, on Friday when the Physio got down to my feet, I thought she was going to choke…..

                          so how was the BBQ ?

                          Very enjoyable, thanks.  A cloudy morning became warm and sunny and it was fun to meet the other swimmers and their families:  one of the swimmer's husbands is an Iron Heart customer!  Small world  🙂

                                  So Paula got chatting to him, told him we were having a sale and he bought 2 pairs of IH-816 overnight.  Result.
