No, that's not a reference to my emotional state this morning...that would be bleary eyed. Actually it's a reference to the temperate climate in the UK when you mix warm evaporating water and cold air- we swam through a light mist this morning. Very tranquil.
We have been joined by Charles, a work colleague of Chris,Newell's and James, a rowing colleague of Matt Baker's. The more the merrier.
As we were starting our final leg of the usual circular route, Chris and I almost swam into a group of triathletes in their dark wetties. I'd not noticed this about them before as i've not witnessed a group up close but it was like swimming into a shoal of tropical fish. All of a sudden I had splashes of neon filling my goggles; hot pink, sunshine yellow, acid green; from the variety of swimming caps these guys were wearing. They're so much easier to see than our whites and off-orange. Might invest.....
Last night we finally got around to having a team meeting to organise kit lists, clothing lists, food requirements, logistics and team name. It's ALMOST like we might be getting organised. As we sat outside the Marlow Donkey pub we were a few moments away from naming our team "The Marlow Donkeys" in an effort to get free t-shirts from the pub, but we veered away from this at the last minute. Sanity prevailed. Still, all else is sorted, a positive and beneficial meeting.
Tomorrow morning is Liquid Leisure at Datchet again for a two hour stint in the lake. All very positive too. Have a good weekend everyone.
Happy trails!
