I went swimming again, almost all afternoon at Jesus Green Lido.
I brought my goggles and for almost the first time I've been there the water was clear enough to see a long way. It was quite magical drifting underwater -- the natural light falling down, and dozens of small leaves hanging suspended stationary in front of you like a living box of light, instead of an empty skybox.
I swam ten good strokes underwater which as much as I usually ever manage, and swam down to the deepest point a few times.
And swam a proper mile.18 lengths, 1800 yards, none of this 1600 or 1700 approximation I end up converting yards to meters and back again :)
Sunday I cycled to Upware along the (broken) cycle route 11, first time I've tried to follow a national cycle route. Description on facebook.
