Stunningly beautiful

Tonight was very special. I arrived at 5 pm at Loch Lomond so I could go for a run before my open water swim. The sun was splitting the sky and running in such stunning scenery makes it a lot more pleasant. Most of Glasgow had decided to visit the loch so it was full of families enjoying the summer weather. We then swam out in the loch and paused before starting our circuits. Everyone agreed that this was special. 11 athletes in the water, we had the whole area to ourselves and the water was calm and not cold. It doesn't get any better. This is my forth week of open water swimming and I am feeling very comfortable in the water and am now ready for the Aberfeldy half ironman swim. So tomorrow is a long bike ride and the weather is looking good.
