Today was like the majority of my high school sporting career – a lot of time spent on the sideline, but it wasn’t the coaches' orders this time, it was Manflu or as my mother insists is the correct medical term, boyflu. This sideline view did however, give me a bit of time to get some other angles so I hope you enjoy.
The usual early bird suspects, only just clothed. ‘Coffee first’ is their mantra.
At 6:30am with such a cold and miserable outlook, it was commendable for anyone to get up for a swim, especially those aiming for WWW badge and it pays off - as these ladies said of these two studs and similar to why firefighters use Dalmatians, ‘we like them because they’re brave’.
The sun trying to squeeze through – no dice
a smooth arrival to the much colder Shelley
but no one seemed to mind the cold
except these guys who mastered the Shelley Tumble Turn
This man needed a bit of space for quiet reflection – a lot going on in the world right now – so I offered him a Penny for his thoughts.
His answer: “just wondering if I should get soy milk or skim milk in my coffee later.”
I asked for my change.
Also couldn’t decide between soy or skim.
Keeping warm the only way he knows how – get low.
These cool cats however were immune to the cold
soy all the way for them
Thanks to Rainer for taking the water shots!
Several at the point waiting for round 2
Rich only wears wetsuit shorts and a silicon cap because as he insists, ‘its most important to keep your head warm’.
I also thought her joke was hilarious
It turns out soy did win
My girlfriend used to say this was my best look – fully clothed and far away
Oh and these swimmers made me promise to put them in the blog
Have a great week everyone!
