Went to Sydney this weekend with the intention of swimming 5 hours with Vald's Channel swimmers.
Even though I felt the flu coming on during Friday the lure of swimming in the ocean is far to great for me.
We stayed at a lovely apartment but during the night it hit hard. Everything was aching and it felt like my head was about to explode. In all my wisdom I decided to sleep a little longer, thinking that will fix everything then catch up with the group for swim mid morning.
Got to the beach full of vicks and barocca...I was ready. The water was warm around 17ish and the swell was up. This made for an interesting and challenging swim. I made two hours before calling it a day along with all the other swimmers.
Unfortunately I am paying for my stupid decision now as I just spent Sunday feeling rather sorry for myself. I will now probably miss the whole week of swimming.
Lesson learnt...!
