The 2008 Open Water Swimming Season started this morning when Tri-Anglia took to water of Whitlingham Lake at 8.30am this morning. I managed to be the first to dive into the water, was first to the 750m turn buoy and just managed to be first back to the outdoor centre ahead of Matt Spillman. I can't say that we were the first to exit the water because we turned for a second shorter lap.
Normally for the first swim of the year I can't contain an exclamation of how cold the water is. No such problem this year the water was actually quite comfortable, so not only did a full 1500m loop get completed but an additional 400m one was added in for good measure.
Can't say that I was as warm on the bike afterwards. It was wet and windy and our planed 50miler was curtailed to 30 miles.
