Demelza visit

Emma, Paul, Lizzie, Rod & Kate

Hello again, well Paul, Lizzie and me(Rod) visited Demelza house today. we met some of the team there and a couple of kids. They do amazing unparralled work with the kids and their families they are amazing. We were all encouraged to keep doing what we are doing to raise money for them to keep helping the kids.  Bring on the channel.

Dover

 

Well a 2week gap since the last post but things have been busy. Paul and I did 2 laps of Leybourne. I did a big session in the pool today. Feeling really good about the team for our channel swim. Caravan site booked and we are all ready. Doing a Dover swim to the harbour wall on Saturday. Looking forward to it. Definitely feel the benefit of all the training inthe freezing water in winter. Bring it on

Eton 10km -practice for the channel

Well the post is a little late but here it is: On Sunday 27th May Rodney, Paul, Alan and Megan had an early start and headed to Eton for the Humanrace Speedo swim 10km. Although all a little apprehensive we just wanted to get going. We were the first to arrive, asi said very eager, and registered.unfortunately Lizzie was unable to join us due to a recent injury to her shoulder. It would have been brilliant to have her there but unfortunately live throughs curved balls st us. The swim was fantastic and the water temp was not as cold as they were expecting, we all finished the ic swim with Paul leading the group with a 3hr 14, Rod 3hr 22, Alan 3hr 28 and Megan 3hr 50. I don't think that Alan and Megan enjoyed the swim as much as Paul and Me but it was a good achievement for everyone. A swim coach who was assessing our swim told us that we all will not have a problem in the channel and was confident that we are prepared. So withh confidence high we enter the last weeks to the channel swim.
