"They know f_ck-all over at Slowtwitch"
- Lionel Sanders

I have been swimming in the sea for over 12 years, and am still terrified of the 'unknown' what lies beneath. My wife calls it an irrational fear, I say I'm being cautious 😂

A group of 7 friends and I are doing a 707 mile quadrathlon in Jul. We will be running 135 mile, swimming the 21 mile English Channel, cycling 534 mile and climbing Mont Blanc in France.

During our training I have gotten much better at keeping the bad thoughts at bay. Now I try keep the Glide... Pull... Breathe.

Not sure how my new Mantra will fair in the Channel swimming in the dark. We shall see.

😉

That sounds like a pretty cool adventure race. You all going to swim the channel together, following English Channel rules? Now that I think about that, probably not practical, even if you all were about the same speed, that is not going to be the case once you start crossing. Suppose everyone will need their own escort boat, and giant man eating shark and squid spotters!!! (just kidding, kind of...)

Yes Monty we are following the proper Channel Crossing Federation people's rules so it will be a recognised swim.
We are doing the swim as a relay, although there are only 3 of us that seem happy to do the swim so likely to be a 21-24 mile swim relayed by the 3 of us.
Only 1 safety boat (£2000 each) so 1 swimmer in the water at a time--just what I need to let my imagination run wild in the middle of the night. 😂

This song?
