Henley Swim – not for me this year
I got up at 1:20am this morning to get ready for the swim. But I soon worked out that I was too poorly to do it. I was coughing my heart out and my chest was very tight. Coughing hurts the glands under my jaw and feels like it rattles my brain around my skull. Not a nice feeling.
But I still went to Henley and watched the start. I still wanted to do it but I made the right decision to skip it.
I then walked down to the finish and, with another man, pulled around 170 people out of the river. I got soaked.
Next year I hope I will feel better.

Thankyou, I was one of those 170 swimmers.Sorry you missed a good one this year,my 3rd.I’m sure I was quicker than last year.Hope its not swine flu.
I am glad you enjoyed it Annette. It’s not swine flue! I ended up at the doctors this afternoon and got some anti-biotics and some other stuff so hopefully I will get better soon!
