Just back from another lovely training session in UL and we were joined by Clare Morrisey today. For those of you who don't know our friend Clare she is an excellent open water swimmer and herself a channel swim success!!! Clare along with 5 other ladies made up the Stiletto Swimmers relay team of 2010 who made it across and to say we picked her brain today is an understatement!!! Thanks Clare, invaluable to get 1st hand info, nothing like it.
Most of the relay teams are made up of groups of four, five or six and even on the channel swim Facebook page we hadn't seen another team of two like ourselves that's until today!! While in the pool in UL we got chatting to a group in the lane beside us (on a break between drills Natalie!!!). These were from Galway and one of the ladies Annette and a friend are attempting the swim in September. So good to know we're not the only duo crackpots!!! All the best to them with their training.
We are having a few days off as one of the team is heading for Cheltenham and hopefully she'll be swimming in champagne celebrating loads of success, giddy up!!! Until next time thanks so much for all the encouragement and support, really appreciated. Jellyfish duo
