swimming in circles

After a few injuries setting me back in my running ambitions I decided to take up swimming and a couple of weeks ago I thought the Auckland harbour swim would be a great little challenge. I didn't think it was such a great idea as I got into the water at Stanley bay but I gave it a go anyway! I swam in large zigzags across the harbour (it was meant to be straight but i was slightly disorientated) along with 1200 other swimmers. Great event which I would love to do again, perhaps swimming a bit more direct to the shore. I just got sent a charming photo of me running up with finishing ramp, I was swaying like a drunken sailor after jumping out of the water!
