thanks to putting on a stone, a good foundation of cold swims every week, some quick action from Jane Murphy getting me inside and changed, application of 4 hand warmers on the arteries and a large flask of very hot chocolate, I didn't go down with the after drop but I'll probably not do it again Andrew - unless I can get a lot faster! as you may remember, I'm not the fastest swimmer on a good day!
Crikey! That was unbelievable. Not too many people can do something like that!
I myself had the misfortune of swimming 50yds in 37 degrees a few years back and I'm still recovering! My heart about exploded the moment I hit the water.
So what's the next challenge? Let's do something where you're not risking death!
I'm guessing you shivered for quite some time afterwards.
I remember a few years ago another Serp swimmer doing the winter mile and really (and I mean really) looking the worse for it afterwards.
