Ah the serenity

Well if conditions last week at Bondi were fairly mediocre this week the water was flat, clear and sparkling and just chilly enough to know your're alive and kicking! (Not too hard though - you might attract the sharks)! Perfect for our Christmas Swim and great to be able to share our beach with members from other pods that normally train at different beaches. Gradually building up a bit of strength and fitness and definitely starting to feel a bit more comfortable out beyond the breakers. Fingers crossed for similar conditions to today come race day.

This week the surf at Bondi was HUGE! No trouble for our trusty coaches Paul and Victor though who tailored our training to suit the conditions. Despite this we were tossed around and dumped by a very messy surf but still managed to finish the session with smiles on our faces...and a lot of sand in our cossies! Always great to finish a session and one step closer to our goal of competing in an ocean swim in February.

I'm training with Can Too for the 1km Ocean Swim!

I am training for an event with Can Too, a health promotion organisation that engages and inspires individuals and the community to achieve personal health, wellbeing and altruistic goals.
 
Beginners and experienced athletes alike are given professional coaching as part of a team to run or swim in endurance events- including 10km, half-marathon and marathon runs; as well as ocean swims and triathlons.
 
In return, I am raising valuable funds that go towards innovation in the prevention, care and control of cancer. In 2014, our Can Too community has supported 19 early career researchers through Cure Cancer Australia.

Thank you for supporting me!
 
‘It’s so much fun and I can’t believe I’m going to achieve this goal that I never thought possible. A great program and team support is making it possible. You Can Too!’
