Some fun pictures from this weekends events

I think I've lost the knack of finding pictures to caption with fun, I'm doing my best. I blame Ted Lasso.

zig zag swims are the easiest to swim and photo everyone in lane one



good high elbow, nice alternate breathing, for the win.

no elbows, no breathing...I get wet. Not a win.

can someone fetch the lifeguard ?


philisophical contemplation on the meaning of Try.

DQ for no hands / unsafe riding. Unfortunate really as he seemed so happy.

Top work and enjoying the route !

YES ITS ALL OVER !

The joy of finishing

Guns out, job done !

winners dinner plate medals !

And then we also had the Mighty Hikers along the south downs - a fantastic route to Eastbourne


Almost past the 2 furlong point

10 more fulongs to go



wavey planey zooming along



New Album cover - drummer in the background as usual



Julie Andrews is alive and well



Little does he know he still had one more hill


loving the double thumbs ups

They narrowly avoided the rain that swept in behind them


FInsh hugs all round !


Making memories and remembering them


no number - no photos


Just like Parkrun - IT'S NOT A RACE...

So much has gone on these past months it's difficult to know where to start, but to slowly close an arc that's been burning since 2016, it seems it take about 7 years for democracy to catch up with those that would threaten it.

We're mostly Hikes and swims this summer, and it looks set to be another hot one - over the next two months, so keep the factor 50 on, and a wide brimmed floppy hat and keep everything covered up.
And good luck with the training !

Until next time,
Anthony
