I'm too tight to buy two pairs of goggles. You can see through shaded ones on dull days, but clear ones are murder if the sun is out.
Follow this link and there are a couple of photos. I was entrant number 2009.

Slatz, I honestly expected to see someone in their 20's, maybe 30's... this can't be something you've only just started doing... you must have a background in this kind of thing going back years.
Please keep us updated with your expeditions and exploits... you're an inspiration.

Well, hopefully I justified where I thought I had gone wrong in a later sentence. You appear to be in your 50's, but appearances aren't everything. The average gent in his 50's would not be able to do what your are doing - but you are able because you have kept yourself in shape. The numbers matter far less the better we look after ourselves, and so what you look, doesn't have much bearing on how you feel.Slatz wrote: What do you mean? I'm only 24.

Many books you can judge by their cover, but some you can't, and you're the exception. Our bodies physically mature around age 30, and by this time many have wrecked their bodies, or they give up, or things beyond their control just happen. Inside though, that's where the difference is, and that's where you are.

The swimmer ahead of you... was she pretty?
Well done Slatz... let me know when you're doing it next and I'll join you.

Just think you will have swam in so much of the lakes and bodies of water in this country we'll all have a bit of your DNA floating through us!
When I asked if the swimmer in front of you was pretty it was to imply that is why you arrived sooner this time - just being silly, sorry.
All the best, and your giving to the needs in Africa is admirable. Enjoy your self!
