Perigean Spring Tide

So conditions looked promising for the planned ‘8 gap-laps’ this morning. Starting before sunrise 4 of us set out for an approx 4 hour swim. I lasted just under 2 hours with 4 laps, or 6km. I had nothing in the tank and wasn’t enjoying it, compared to a last weeks two long swims where I could have kept going and going. But those legends in skins kept going and got their 8 laps done, so 12 km in less than 4 hours.

I packed up the van and headed up West, where the air is cooler and the water about 4c warmer. I’ll look forward to trying it out tomorrow morning.
