It isn't happening because I asked others to go. So I will be training from home on the holidays which is OK, I have a lot of cold water swims this year and the cold training will be a good idea. Do I sound convincing? Didn't think so....
But it is also time to schedule swims for the coming year, I'm working on the calendar so that it will be a gradual build up to Sept-Oct time frame for the big event. I will have done some amazing swims by then, I hope. Here is to 'lots of training, no emergencies or injuries and lots of fun.'
