Day 105 – 28th September 2010

Last night had about 3 hours sleep in total; been like that for about 2 weeks now, which is annoying. I only ever do around 4-5 hours a night on average anyway, which is all I’ve ever done, but 3 hours is a pain as it makes the night time so long and boring and it does make you a tad tired when you get up at 5.30am ish. Oh well never mind!

The sea was amazingly clear again today; you could actually see every single stone at the bottom, even as far out as the end of the pier. The air temperature was slightly warmer today, but the sea temperature continues to drop.

As it’s getting darker in the mornings now I decided to go at 7.15 instead of 7am and as such the Arches were busier; it was nice to see some faces again in the morning. Bob wasn’t there today, but Young Mike joined me. We swam twice around the pier, beach to beach to beach; it was Mikes first time doing that and you could see that the cold got to him; it was cold out there. We did a fantastic pace the whole way around; a great swim and an amazing way to start the day. Oh god am I dreading not being able to do this distance in the sea soon due to the temperature, which will mean the dreaded pool swims!
