HRT ha ha

After a lovely chilled evening with Sue and Chris, Diana and. Had an early start but also a smooth journey to the airport. Just had a Pret A Manger salad pot and a gin and tonic. Pleased that I am not the driver this time. Think we land in about an hour. Looking forward to two weeks of sun rock and sea.

This may be a two swim day……

Walk to the swim

Swim one!

D:114m. T: 9mins

Swim one

We walked from the hotel to Pittenweem tidal pool and arrived only just in time. The sea was beginning to come over the sides and by the time we had got back up to the shelter after the swim it had disappeared. The water was not as cold as I was expecting and I actually managed to actually swim a bit. I was in for about 7 mins.

Swim Two

Cellardyke tidal pool

I was really thinking that I was not wise and really wondered at my sanity but it was ok when I got in. Then we went back for a meal and the fireworks. A nice day wit’s nice people. I like the swim group.

I decided to go up a wee hill on the way to meeting up with Janet’s swim group in Fife. Not being up many hills lately. I have done some yoga most days for the last 10 days. Legs still felt a bit stiff. Nice views. I then got to the hotel in time for some Prosecco and a chippy tea. We then had a gin in a pub. Tomorrow I may swim.
