It seemed so long ago with this swim was booked. A different event for this duo who enjoy triathlons and half distances. Well I say enjoy, more endure.
This was the first long relay swim, but the ladies were ready having followed training guidance aiming them to the 12 hour Swim Challenge first and then topping their swimming if with Windermere.
It was a moody Monday weather wise, forecast was a bit blowy in parts but the skilled navigation of DQ and ability of our swimmers meant it didn't really pose a problem.
Francine started the first leg at Fell Foot with a beaming smile on her face throughout. Then it was Heather's turn. Both ladies were in great spirits and embracing this opportunity.
Halfway down Windermere, the wind picked up as forecast which meant a bit of rock and roll, but you can't have a smooth run all the time.
After 7 hours and 50 minutes the ladies completed their swim and touched the jetty side by side. What a fabulous day out. Well done ladies.
