Water temperature: 16 degrees
As soon as my face hit the water I knew this was a bad idea. I sort of wade and stumble up and down The Lido, I can hardly swim and my goggles feel like they've been strapped round someone else's rubber clad head. I don't feel good. I had thought about doing a big end of summer mile but that aint happening today. I give up after 10 cruel lengths and lie down on a bench, at least the sun is shining.
I bet the tai-chiers haven't got half my problems.
I pedal off home thinking of breakfast and rehydration. I reckon I'll be fit enough for another party tonight.
