Great blog post.. Thanks Lesley!
Kat, my new recruit, thoroughly enjoyed her first B&B swim. Despite what seemed like a gloomy morning at first.
Great feature photo of me and Kat at Shelly. Is that Emer in the background desperately trying to score half a point in Sharon’s spreadsheet?? 🙂

Can’t recognise any of the underwater swimmers. Wonder who can? Well done on the fill-in blogging Lesley. Hope John Kelly kept everyone in order too in Jules’s absence. Look forward to swimming and breckying tomorrow and hopefully getting on Sharon’s spreddy!

You guys need to wear fluro rashies over yr wetsuits….makes spotting yourself much easier!

Good idea re the fluro rashies Lesley, or you could just jump up and be visible like me 🙂 I can’t believe Rainer and Kat photo bombed my photo. Jeeze! See you all on Thursday!
