Open water success

Tonight I had my best ever open water swim.  A good crowd had gathered at Loch Lomond from 3 different tri clubs.  The water was cold and in the past it has set my heart racing, especially in such an expanse of water.  But tonight was different.  I got into a fantastic rhythm which is what I have been trying to do and kept up with the good swimmers reasonably well.  We all chatted afterwards with some good tips swapped for Ironman.
Quick fish supper on the way back, coffee and some chocolate.  Early night as I am up at 7am for my 5 hour cycle with a couple of real cyclists; Jacques who is tackling Mont Vontoux in September (three times in 1 day!) and double ironman (yes double!) Craig - should be a real easy ride!
