Well, I've spent too long over the past 18 months on my backside (a state of affairs for which the Fat Cow below is partly responsible, alas) and as such am now a bit of a Fat (deleted).
Accordingly, I have decided to attempt the Swimathon again next year in April. Basically, it's a 5-kilometre swim for Marie Curie Cancer Care. That's 200 lengths of a 25 metre pool, or 100 lengths of London Fields Lido which is where I do it. I last did it in 2011, when I took 1 hour 56 minutes. I couldn't do it in 2012 as a family thing came up at short notice that weekend and in 2013 I had a bit of a surgical matter which resulted in me being "holed below the waterline" if you know what I mean and thus swimming was off the cards in case the site got infected.
I'll post a link closer to the time when donations become open. Mods, please take note that I accept corporate sponsorship so if you want me to tape a PCS logo to the back of my jammers PM me to work out a deal
Is anyone else doing this, or has done this in the past, and if so, please post your times etc.
