5.45am porridge, 7am poolside for my last long swim before the event. I covered 3,300 meters with the last 200 avoiding icebergs - let me explain. At 8.30am they remove the lanes and that means the rather large ladies who do breast stroke at one length every 10 minutes start to lose their bearings and inadvertently wander into the path of other swimmers who are ploughing up and down the pool. The iceberg name comes as all you see is their head and the "mass" is below the water line. Don't get me wrong I think it is fantastic that they are in the pool swimming and set a great example to others who are tucked up in their bed. However the sooner they get fitted with a sat nav the better as I almost split two of them which didn't go down too well - they had wandered 5 yards off course. Felt great after the swim, it loosened off my legs.
Tomorrow is an hours run and the weather forecast looks like I'd be better and possibly drier avoiding icebergs!
