Friday 17 August 2018 It’s all about swimming

or fish spotting, or other things near the sea.

In his recent triathlon in Denmark, BB swimmer Alan and daughter Courtney saw there was lots of jellyfish in the water for the swim leg which was at a marina. But he and daughter Courtney did not report their stings to the first aid tent because the solution offered was shaving of the affected area. Yes.  Imagine if you did not read the sign but went in for treatment of jelly fish stings and they bring out a razor! Hopefully no one needed stingose or a razor today. I only saw salp

Here is Courtney today

What I am reading: I just got The Town by Shaun Prescott. I am eagerly waiting for the next instalment of the Teachers Pet podcast. Gripping. I tried to watch Survivor because my idol, Shane Gould is on it. But they were just talking. And not about swimming. I could not get it.
