Had a weekend away in Suffolk and when in Rome, etc.
Southwold beach: All guns blazing I ran in, not that cold I thought, the water upto my waist and then I dived in. And suddenly I can't breathe and my heart just stops, blind panic and I have to get out. Stand on the sand thinking what am I going to do in the channel? So I go again ease myself in and swim for a minute or so still tight chested and a bit panicky. Get out and thinks bugger now I'll have to go tomorrow. Walked back to the car dripping wet in just boxer shorts whilst people mutter masochist/ weirdo and various combinations thereof. Very dishearten went for a run and got lost for 2 1/4 hours. All in all a bad day.
Aldeburgh Beach: So Sunday morning with the rather delightful backdrop of Sizewell B& C nuclear reactors. Try again, this time expecting it disaster, but it was actually quite pleasant in for about 3 or 4 minutes. Got out this ,prepared with towel and everything ,got dressed feeling rather smug. Much better day.
So now all I have to do is get from 3 minutes to an hour at a time. Blue lagoon here we come.
