Open water swimming - OMG!

If getting up at 05:15 wasn't bad enough then jumping in the lake a Datchet this morning at 06:30 was. However, after the first 750m I must admit to getting into a nice stroke and finding it quite fun. I swam 1500m, saw enough green weed to satisfy me for life and plan to do it again tomorrow.

What really shocked me (apart from seeing myself in a wetsuit) was the fact that there were around 300 other people doing the same thing. Still 45 mins later and a bacon butty in hand it didn't seem too bad.
