Highgate Men's Pond


Water temp: 21 degrees

After work swim. Beautiful evening but still felt a bit gloomy after yesterday's events at The Lido.

Decided to see if I could swim a lap around the perimeter rope, front crawl, non-stop. Swam anti-clockwise, not sure if there's wrong way or a right way, maybe someone could let me know, I seemed to be in a small minority, Midnight Express? Job done, lap completed, duathlon not looking so daunting.

Left my wash bag and goggles behind.*

Found a good blog about the ponds

* Went back next day, bag was where I left it. Nice.
