ReplyDeleteSounds like a very athletic event, but I don't think my lungs would be ready to take on a 1.5k, or 2.5 or even a 5k. But, I like the fact that it is a fundraiser supporting Marie Curie Cancer Care. I used to swim a "looongg" time ago, like back in the day in elementary school, very athletic little girl. I stopped because I got traumatized in a race I had because my swimming hat came off in the middle of the race and since I'm this little girl trying to do everything right, I went back to get my swimming hat and so, lost the race. But, I like to swim, nice blog!
