Completed the third and final element of the London Classic on Sept 22. Water temperature 16.6 but bearable. 2 laps of the lake. I swam at a steady and consistent pace. Did not change stroke due to possibility of  cramp, which was my greatest fear. Pleased with time of 1hr 9 mins. Not a race but just missed out on my Age Group  65+ podium. 4th out of 21 men. Main achievement was to collect my huge London Classic medal. I will now be added to the Hall of Fame. Holiday coming up now for a rest then winter training starts in a few weeks. Determined to slowly build up running, treadmill first then 3 to 5km.

Still able to walk!
