Thursday morning pre-work swim.
It's a lovely morning. Scores on the doors says 13 out and 11 in. As I arrive the late rising sun is tenderly caressing the northern side of the pool. Looks bloody freezing. No messing about this morning, straight in, well almost. Set myself a target of 5 lengths. I splashed and waded up and down the pool waiting for the endorphins or warmth to arrive. I ended up doing 10 lengths. Happy that I made the effort. Will return soon.
I think it's easier to acclimatise when the temperature is going up rather than down.
