The Gods were with us

Posted: July 16, 2012 in cycling

Saturday was wet, windy and wild. Monday is proving to be wet, windy and wild. But… Sunday was almost summer-ish.

The Gods must have recognised the good cause that was being celebrated yesterday as we headed off to the beach for the annual 1066 swim-run. A 1.66 mile swim and 1.66 mile run is undertaken by a few hardy, local souls to raise money for CLIC Sargent in memory of a local lad who sadly died of cancer and this year a small, eclectic group of runners, swimmers and triathletes showed up to support this event – not counting the organisers and of course, the super kayakers who marshalled the swim.

1.66 miles, against tides and a gentle swell, in 1hour 7 seconds – the Gods were kept really busy. A yet another GREAT day.
