Packing!

The day has finally come, we are leaving for Kent in a couple of hours!

Training has been in full swing in recent weeks, albeit on an individual basis as everyone has been away in recent weeks either with university, holidays, Olympic volunteering!  Training in various pools/ lakes/ and seas has occurred for all of us, and wetsuits have now well and truly become a thing of the past.  However, half of the team were able to meet up for a final training session last night at the lake while Josie crossed the channel via ferry - she spotted no other swimmers while onboard and no sharks either for that matter!

After a flurry of phone calls to each other last night all of us are now packed and have planned a meeting place which hopefully will avoid all the reading Festival traffic!

No idea when we are swimming, its weather and tide dependent, so there may be plenty of updates the next few days as we do some last minute acclimatisation/ training in the Channel itself.

Lets hope we can seize the Olympic spirit and do ourselves proud in the next week...
