Post Swim Smiles

Victoria and I park on the first floor of the car park overlooking the dock....or as we like to call it ‘The Balcony’. It was a chilly morning and the water was five point five degrees. We swam three laps of the course and I was glowing when I got out with a cold water ‘tan’.

I always get the after drop about ten minutes after I get out. I’m fine one minute and the next I’m shaking all over and can barely speak. It’s a weird feeling but once I was dressed, sitting in the car with the heater on full blast and sipping a hot tea I felt a lot better.

Pat and I met Ellen and we went for a walk this afternoon. I’d been home about an hour but my feet were still cold when I set off. After a stop at the cricket club at the Dutch pancake van and a brisk start to my walk I soon regained feelings in my toes.

An early start for work tomorrow, but thankfully it is only down the road at the Novotel.
