            The first of the two Low Pressure Systems (equals shite weather) is now over us, but still looking good for tomorrow. Going to be an interesting swim this afternoon, when our swimming speed is measured to work out which of the 5 groups we will be placed in. My money is on me making it into the duffers group….

                  That was the chest, I did take the precaution of printing it on my ass too:

                        OK.  So the training swim was 2Kms.  I managed it in 48 mins.  I am in the second of 4 groups to start.

                        The slowest group start 1st, then a little while later my group starts then the next 2 groups start staggered behind us.

                        The idea is that we all get to the main shipping lane at about the same time.  We then cross the shipping lane as one group.

                        Once the other side of the shipping lane it will probably be every man (and his kayaker) for himself…
