Been swimming in the sea again, couple of times this week. Feeling quite tired at the moment but the fear of getting 'tested' is keeping me going. I am delighted that I was selected earlier this week to take part in the SWIM trials. Basically, out of the 500 or so people taking part in this event, they have selected around 40 to go forward to the next stage. And I got into the group.
The trails are in Brighton - pretty close to Arisaig then :-( so I am planning to travel down there on Tuesday for the event. The details have not been sent yet, they are really not giving you much notice and time to plan around it. So today was my last open water swim until the trails. I went into the bay down the Rhu road and was happily swimming around when I spotted a couple of seals tailing me. I need to get over the SEAL thing. They freak me out a wee bit. Totally unexplained, there is nothing to be scared of, but I did swim a lot faster. Maybe that's the trick for next Tuesday, get a couple of big daddy seals to follow me and I will definately get picked. Peter recons that I would win the London marathon if I had a big dug chasing me, so the same may apply to the seals.
So keep your fingers crossed that I pass the fitness test etc and they like me enough to get in the team. Only thing is that it may co-oncide with my move north, but hey, will cross that bridge when I come to it.
Lots of love Anne xxx
