Brighton.
Another run/swim combo. This time the weather is looking less promising and SH has gone to London so I have key issues again. But after a tricky day I really need salt water. Same route but a lot less people and a really cold wind. Disappointingly the wind has changed to a south westerly so there are plenty of waves and the water is a dirty gray. Still, I run, get warm, forget about the day. I swim at almost exactly the same point as Sunday but this time I cannot see another person on the beach. But I dont even think about keys. I must be adapting.
The water has cooled again and I can feel my tired muscles start to seize up. A shorter swim, dodging the waves but swallowing lots of water (I always seem to take on loads of water when doing crawl in wavy seas...). The post-swim climb was really hard this time as my legs were cold - I think the water and air temp maybe just too low now to follow a swim with more running, it will have to be a fair weather combo. Or just end with a swim and walk home (walk? oh the shame). Still, I made it home in time to replenish all those lost calories on a big round of buttery toast.
