Well a delayed update from me. As soon as finishing the swim been really busy with work. Really pleased I managed to complete the 10k in 3hr 50min and Sophie was amazing coming along to swim with me and completed in 04:22:14! The Day went amazingly with lots of friends and family coming along to support and what a great amount we have managed to add towards gaining the boys stars! Thank you everyone who supported, must start thinking about the next challenge, any suggestion welcome.

Saturday 18th April, I completed Swimathon as part of my training. In a time of 1hr48.22 this is a pb for me so was happy with this. I learnt a valuable lesson that 3hrs is not long enough to digest a sausage, egg, bacon and tomato muffin. Will try just cereal at my next distance training session. The stomach pain was awful, it came on at around 2km and didn't ease until the last 800m. Also my right wrist started to ache, towards the end, think I must check technique in case I am adding unnecessary pressure, I can not have that playing up. Managed a reasonable training session the next day as well, without my wrist causing me much trouble. So I am sure as I increase training it will be fine. Time to start organising important fundraising for the event!
