Too good an opportunity

I know I said I was taking a couple of days off training but sometimes you just have to grab opportunities as they occur. Swimming is by far my weakest triathlon discipline and I’ve been struggling to fit in any open water sessions. In fact the last time I swam was in the castles challenge tri off Bamburgh beach. This evening I had no excuses. The weather and tides were right and I was available. I grabbed my wet suit and was off. I put in a good 800m or so, confidence building swim and the only down side is a few wetsuit armpit burns. I’m now drinking a nice Italian red to numb the pain. Must remember the wetsuit lube next time.
