I've signed up with less than 2 weeks to go, to complete the 5km challenge in this year's Swimathon (for Marie Curie Cancer Care). 5km is a heck of a long way to swim... for reference, in the 30m pool I'll be doing it in, it will be 167 lengths; in the pool near where I work, it would be 294 lengths! I've only ever swum 3.2km in one day before and that was over 10 years ago now. It's going to be long, it's going to be tiring, but it's something I can actually do right now when the physio won't let me do much else. We're in the sporting season now, and dammit I want to do sport! Especially when it's for a good charity.
So, please take a look at my fund-raising page and donate if you can. It would mean a lot to me, and a lot to the Marie Curie Cancer Care fund too!
It would take me about 5 days to swim 5km with lots of rest in between kms.
