Water 3 degrees again, felt really nice today. Fish seem much less active at the moment. Unusually swimming into wind on the way out, so the way back again felt much easier. Photographer taking photos as he found us "eccentric" so did my very best to smile and look perfectly comfortable getting out of the water with bright pink skin... "good effort" he said... not sure if that was in response to my swim or my attempt at a smile!!!

Hip painful all week so no exercise since Tuesday. Feeling a bit better today. Nice then to have a proper swim in proper water at 3 degrees. Just out to reduce swim limit and back but felt really good. Wonder how many more weeks we will have these nice cold temperatures for. Can't wait to swim in Finland in two weeks...

Good to have Tereza join Ifor and me, faster pace this week than normal. Hip really painful at first out of car park but warmed up into it. Very slippy though and started to struggle where there was no grip and hip started to give me bother again so bailed out at road crossing and left Ifor and Tereza to run the final loop without me. Good run, too slippy for me in road shoes!
