Day 89 – 7th September 2010

Today was a beautiful day for a swim. The temp was still cold, the waves were still rather choppy, the rain was slightly spitting, however, the sky was blue, the sun was breaking out and there was a fantastic rainbow around the pier. I went in on my own today at 6.40am and swam to the furthest buoy near the groin and then rather than swim I simply let the tide slowly pull me towards the pier. It was about a 30 minute journey and I just lay on my back looking up at the sky and the rainbow and drifted along. One could say it was somewhat spiritual if one was so inclined.

I know it’s all about training, training, training; but actually sometimes for the sake of sanity it also has to be about the moment.
