The Swimmer returned on 12th October in its classic London form: crossing London from north to south in four swims and four runs. Good to see old friends and regulars, but also lots of new faces. The torrential rain that was forecast failed to materialise, and we ran and swam in almost summer-like conditions. We own the weather (obviously next month will be a monsoon!).
Highlights of the day were Marc and his enormous backpack (seriously, the logistics can take a bit of getting your head round, but we aren’t scaling Everest!), Katie having her customary restorative cigarette at the Serpentine, Peter’s frog feet, Hannah’s swimming hat, and Marcus and Peter’s grudge match to the finish. There was also a secret Swimmer Lite taking place, with David leading a breakaway group across London by train.
Longer write-ups can be read here by Katie, John and David, and an awesome film by Peter. What a creative bunch we are!
