I've been swimming In the North Sea. Without a wetsuit. Sea temp approx 10C. Very nearly didn't fully immerse as it felt so cold, but saw a triathlon/parkrun pal coming into shore in her wetsuit and she hung round, and persuaded me in for a chatty float about. Felt amazing

You must be in the wrong bit of the North Sea. Ours was up to around 14-15 on Monday, hoping for 15-16 by Friday. 6 mile trot done, very nice. |

Not even for a paddle Gobi? Nice sea temps TRO. I'm going off the magic seaweed forecast and how it felt. magicseaweed.com I probably took longer to acclimatise than I did doing any swimming, but that's the ice cracked now. |

I miss the sea yay for you breaking the ice, though, Scribbles. Is it close enough that you can make it a regular thing now? |

Our lot monitor the temp religiously, and quite a few have gone skins already. They also cheat and study the tides and often swim one way (with the tide). Well done, first one is always the worst. Neoprene hood is a big help. |

I actually thought you were using seaweed to tell the temp I can't find my bootees. But I don't think I will need them. |

Zwatting distraction extremely limited. No TV in the garage. Don’t even use the companion app; just laptop screen with either Zwift or TrainerRoad. Just music gets me by Hard sessions/races: trance Z2/Recovery: atonal miserabilism Bit of WhatsApp if there’s others cycling. Tried discord with some mates but didn’t really like it, was mostly 8-10 people breathing heavily in my ear. |
