A crazy one. Usually it’s #3 that’s a bun fight. Seems sh~t just got real in the family event!

#1’s a wrap...

Swim time sports fans... don’t forget that donations are still open [emoji6] https://kydrin.co.za/goals/View/223

8 calm swims please

Over R3m raised as of 4hrs ago. That’s huge. Donations are still open, just go to https://kydrin.co.za/goals/View/223 and let’s boost this total. As I said recently, I’ll swim a mile per R100 donated, even after Midmar weekend. If you want, you can sponsor a race day mile. I’m trying get R500 for one of those https://www.facebook.com/groups/246935718721082/permalink/1626727940741846/

Registration complete. Kit sorted. The best part of all is a handmade note with wishes of good luck from one of CHOC’s beneficiaries, Aphiwe. Having a name to think of does make this cause even more real. This little one will be in my thoughts every step of the way this weekend

The first sponsor of a race day mile is Mrs Rosebud Norton. There are six more looking for sponsors. You are however welcome to donate less for a few miles in the pool next week and possibly the week thereafter if need be. Don’t be shy... https://kydrin.co.za/goals/View/223

Penultimate Prep. Still two more miles tomorrow and then we hit Midmar. Event number one will be my 20th Midmar crossing so apart from signalling the start of my 3rd 8 Miler it will be special in its own right. Remember that this is, once again all in aid of charity. Choc Childhood Cancer foundation to be precise! Please consider making a small donation. I will gladly swim those miles after the event. Alternatively, you could sponsor one of the actual event miles. I’ll swim one of those for you for a donation of R500, not the last one though, that one’s for my wife and my two little girls who do without having me around for hours so I can squeeze in some training. If you want to donate, just go to https://kydrin.co.za/goals/View/223 and pop in your credit card details. They’ll take EFT’s as well but it seems to take a little longer! 100% of donations go to the charities!

Awesome, I’m so jealous. That’s one I want to do really badly. Good luck I’m holding thumbs that the water’s calm and your turn arrives

Last open water swim before Midmar. The water was like glass. Just need 8 of those next weekend and we’re good.

Speedo Aquapulse Max They’re very comfy

One week to go indeed...

Another 5 today and a little quicker than yesterday. The arms are now a bit sore though so I think I’ve earned a day off tomorrow!

Some renewed motivation having picked up R1,500 in donations yesterday. Here’s 5 miles!

A couple of quickies tonight and the last of my sponsored miles. You can donate to Choc here: https://kydrin.co.za/goals/View/223 These guys do great work for children suffering from cancer as well as the support of their families. Check ‘em out!

4 more today, after 8.5miles this weekend I’ll have a run day tomorrow and will resume swimming on Tuesday.

After two days off, one a running day and the other a total rest day, I swam 4.5 miles this morning. I will endeavour to cover 6 miles tomorrow and then I will have run out of sponsored miles. Just sayin’ @King_Krispy your first two are here! Thanks for your support!

A couple of easy ones tonight!

Thanks bud

I’m not sure, I anticipate I’m around 75 or so, I’ve had to adjust my target down having missed out on around 50-60 in December. I’m going to try for around 130-150

Slowly but surely bud. I’m feeling good in the pool too.

Banged in another two tonight. I pushed the second one a little which exposed my less than ideal stamina levels. Gonna be an interesting race weekend. Don’t forget that this is all in aid of Choc Childhood Cancer Foundation. I’m still some way off my fundraising target, have a look here: https://kydrin.co.za/goals/View/223

And so I add two more to my total this morning, I’m fuming my rhythm again and not a moment too soon...

Three miles today. My diary looks free next week and it needs to be a cracker. Look out for the totals count later today!

That’s so awesome, thank you. I’ll be posting my totals soon. There are around 10 before you but those will be done this week. Your’s will start on the weekend.
