The water is cooling down — bring on the snow and ice

Our group swims have continued throughout November. The water has dropped to a lovely 6°C, and fifty or more of us still gather for our regular Monday, Wednesday and Saturday swims.

We are returning to our roots by running together afterwards. Not all fifty of us, of course, but ten or twelve already makes a good group.

For many, even a short run — we cover no more than 3.5km — is much more than they are used to, so improvements in fitness should soon follow.
