6th September 2025. Early morning swim.

I headed to Pennington flash again for my second swim and managed the 450m triangle this time.

It was quite unnerving getting to the second buoy and realising that I have nothing to grab hold of, or put my feet down like in a pool. I was surrounded by a vast body of water approximately 4-5m deep but I kept going. The buoyancy of the wetsuit made me feel like I wasn't moving at times and the way the water was flowing made me feel like I was going off course, but I did it!

It was so tranquil! and I even met some swans.

Now to re-fuel and head out on a bike ride on my new bike. (My other love). Apparently the term for swimming and cycling is not a biathlon, but aquabike, who knew?
