My first mile-long outdoor swim completed. I did it in the beautiful town of Shrewsbury down the River Severn for the Severn Mile Swim. I panicked when I got in and it took a while to calm down and relax into it. More of a type-2 fun this one (more enjoyable after completion) but I’m very pleased that I did it.
Time: 33m 10s
Place: 3rd from last in my wave, 7th from last overall (but at least I wasn’t last!)
Oh dear… it’s August and I’ve only got half way with my challenges!
