Ache

I joined Richard after two lengths and then a couple later Alfonso joined us about half a length behind. He soon caught up with us and we sped on. It was exhausting and my arms ache now. I did eighteen lengths, Richard twenty and Alfonso did a couple after we got up to make up the mile.

Post sauna I tried to catch Elizabeth jumping back in. The water has got a little cooler again, around 7°C. As I cropped her hand she said she would jump again.

This time I missed the jump altogether but I like the splash, almost as if she's coming out of the water rather than going in.
