CHALLENGE No 2: 750m Eton Open Water Swim

Today I completed CHALLENGE NUMBER 2 of 30 a 750m Open water swim in Eton
SUNDAY 27th May 2012
TOTAL RAISED TO DATE £2000 please add to this one my JUSTGIVING PAGE and help me save lives

I was nervous about this challenge, although I can swim I am not a confident swimmer and panic a little when lots of people are swimming around me, so I decided to take it slowly swim at my own pace and just think about getting round!

It was a beautiful sunny Sunday and the water, although it took your breath away when you got in wasn't to cold to swim in!

I have never swan in a wetsuit before and to be honest didn't like the experience! as I entered the water the wet suit became very tight around my chest and took my breath away making it hard to swim!

It took me 24 minutes to get around the 750m circuit which although twice as long as the first person round I was very pleased with!

CHALLENGE No 1: 26 mile London Trek-a-thon

Challenge 30 has begun and i have sore feet! lol

Today I completed CHALLENGE NUMBER 1 of 30 a 26 mile trek around London
SUNDAY 13th May 2012
TOTAL RAISED TO DATE £1500 please add to this one my JUSTGIVING PAGE and help me save lives

Alison Catchpole and Jackie Argent completed this Trek with me in under 8 hours (including stopping time to eat and stretch!)

The Trek started in The Olympic village and ended up in Greenwich walking along a canal through Camden and past Buckingham Palace where the changing of the guards was taking place and along the Themes.

I thought that this would be one of the easier challenges and maybe it was! (in that case I'm scared about the rest!) I am not sure i have ever had blisters as big! poor feet!

This was an amazing Challenge, although I am in London a lot I tend to pop on to the tube pop up where I need to be and then disappear back underground again, it was great to see more of London! I discovered Little Venice! what a lovely place! cute little river boat café's that I will be visiting one day
