Parliament Hill Fields Lido


Water temp: 18 degrees

Pre-work Friday morning swim, I've not had one of these in a long time. All the old faces are here, including Gorgeous George and the famous actor chap who always pays his debts.

The forthcoming Dart10K is on my mind, this is a serious matter that deserves a little thought and a bit of training. It's a compulsory wetsuit swim, downhill towards the sea so I'm assuming that you point yourself in the right direction and let nature take her course. We'll see.

Eighteen lengths today, one for each degree. It's amazing how much more powerful you feel in the water when you remember to use your legs.
