6hr swim

Did my first 6 hr swim yesterday. Felt like i was turning into a fish by the end!
Thanks to Martin and Rory for joining me for an hour or so... makes the whole thing a little easier. The temperature of the lake has increased and i found that element ok as did with the food/drinks. SHoulders ached towards the end and on and off during but nothing that would have stopped me. Very little breastroke and i know i can fall back on that should i need to. Saw some pretty big fish in the lake although i am guessing nothing compared to what could lurk in the channel - really not worth thinking about yet!! Feeling drained today like a long weekend at the Oktoberfest!
