Only 1km to go..

My Challenge has begun

Wednesday 5th Nov
After some pre challenge training (of up to 4 k) , I came up with  my strategy to complete the 15K swim Challenge :
I managed to do my first 5K in 180 mins (probably very slow! ) But I could hardly move afterwards and was super hungry!  I realised that 3 sets of 5k is probably  more sensible . 
I had hoped to do 7.5 k  twice, but it was much harder than I thought  (was desperate for the loo and once out of the pool was hard to go back in!). Picking a good time in an Olympic pool without  too many people in my lane for 2 hrs plus was  also difficult. So I’m sticking to 5k x 3.
I have  marked out good dates  to complete the next two 5 K swims  before the end of November and will keep you updated on  progress .
Onwards and upwards. 10 K to go.. 

Seed’s Sponsored Swim for Dementia

Saturday 25th Oct
This is my first ever sponsored anything… I’m swimming 15k in November for Dementia, as you know my Dad has Dementia/Alzheimer’s and Cancer . As you can imagine, it is the Dementia which makes dealing with everything so much harder. Any donations make such a difference to others who dont have family to help 24/7 . Thank you for your sponsorship and looking forward to November and completing my 15k. Seed xxx 😘

Thank you to my Sponsors
