Swam through 3 lifeguard changeovers during my birthday swim set of 53x100m , but job done , now where’s the cake 🎂 #hungry

⁦Mathieu Davy⁩ , don’t think these are the ones you want ! ?

Love Friday mornings with the Felixstowe seascapers. Chilly 11 degree sea swim . Managed 24 mins , but wondering how short the swims may become as the winter progresses . Might need a thermal wetsuit or an extra fat layer #seaswimming #@blueseventy

Popped into the co-op tonight dressed as a pumpkin . Thankfully no photographic evidence although suppose I will be on their CCTV #fridaynightfun #spookytrailrace

Continuing winter sea swimming and wanting to look after my new bike , they both have semi permanent places at home . Good job I’ve a tolerant spouse #triathletehouse

Wondering if a 125km cycle with Braintree Velo plus an hour of plogging ( litter picking running) with ⁦Sudbury Joggers⁩ counts as a brick session ? .... not that I did much running though , more bending and lungeing #Swissmantraining

Dear Santa , think I would like to request some lounge wear . Just had a bath after a muddy XC race . Too early to dress up for Born2Tri Xmas dinner tonight so I’m now in my PJs

Forget the festive 500 challenge , much better trying the 100x100m swim set ( did do 10000m honest!). No rules other than min 5 secs rest per rep . Not worried about my next birthday set now #felixstoweswimscapers #enjoyedmychipsafter

Whilst I like my Landrover I would never buy another one Lookers Land Rover Colchester has terrible customer service . Even delivery companies give you time slots these days !

Beautiful day for a run today . Thanks The Benfleet 15 for another well organised and wonderfully marshalled event . Less mud this year but the hills haven’t got any less steep

Thanks Costa Coffee Halstead Essex for the free coffee . Happy Birthday to you

Pretty sure I heard a chap mutter “effing mad woman” as I passed him whilst running hill repeats up and down Convalescent Hill Felixstowe this morning . Good job he didn’t see my next training session #felixstoweswimscapers #lovewinterswimming

Oops think my sports masseur knows me too well when she commented on my TT saddle chafe marks on my bottom #needanewsaddle

Having to swap my flip flops for real shoes today after 6 months off#firstdaybackatwork #mourningmybestsummerever

Hearing young children playing in the playground is as uplifting as birdsong #lovelivingnexttoaschool #firststepstonormality

Listening to the rain hammering and the wind howling for once I’m actually looking forward to a Wattbike session #hometraining #cosyindoors

First session back in the pool . Stopped by lifeguard from getting in LG :I will have to call someone onto poolside to move a swimmer out of the fast lane for you Me: Don’t worry I will get in medium pace lane LG: no overtaking allowed Me : Bonkers 🤷🏻‍♀️

Very impressed with response time and action taken by Essex Police last night . Thank you for making me feel safe

Updated my iPhone 13 with ios18 on 17th Sept … crashed phone , now dead . Very unhappy with dead phone and 10 months contract left #apple
