Thurs 4th June 09 - Lake swim - half hr-ish -v.roughly 1200m bonus, as was expecting to marshall on lakeside - but having ticked everyone into the lake, the list got taken over so I went in, despite having just eaten alot of fish 'n' chips..didn't quite go to far end, as turned round to follow main group back, then on to birdshit island..the sea tastes, looks and feels so much better - but easier to get a longer more continuous swim in lake..

Was talking to a couple of women who run at Wooler and asked them about their early Sat runs..was thinking it makes more sense to do those longer hilly runs at the moment , than to sea swim Sat morns, just til Helvellyn - ridiculously early start though - 7isham - but now testing my commitment by whether I'll manage - not the run - but the getting up! Can't tomorrow though, as singing all day..
