After the Swim

Headed up to Harperrigg Reservoir for an evening swim and it was an interesting experience.

I hadn't swam outside for a while so it was good to get back on it.

I decided to swim the length and back... As a challenge and also to work out the distance (total swim distance ended up being 2.8 km)

The outward length was fine but on the way back I was fighting against the wind. All felt fine but I was aware that the temperature of the water was cooler than usual but when I got out the water I ended up shivering really bad.

Quickly got warm clothes on and once I got round the fire all was fine.

But it was interesting that I reacted in the way I did... Must look into it to see the reasons why!!
