After months of preparation and training, the day of my sea swim is approaching. In fact it's just over 24 hours away and I can't believe we're at this point already. Why is it that a challenge seems ages away and then suddenly its crept up on you and its tapping you on the shoulder? The really troubling thing is that I'm far too calm, which either means I'm ready for action or I'm vastly underestimating tomorrow's activities! Tim will tell, as my Mum used to say.
So what do you do on the day before a major sporting event? I guess a bit of shopping might help but I'm also going to go for a steady swim in the pool because strangely I enjoy the swimming now and tend to miss it if I don't go regularly - who'd have thought it! Then I'll check my wetsuit is ready and pack my bag and try not to think about that moment when I step into the sea and head a mile across the River Fal.
The Castle to Castle Swim is being patrolled by a big team of our RNLI lifeguards and given I'm trying to raise money for their training, that should go some way to inspiring me. I just hope I don't look too slow next to the army team that's entered and the massive group from a local school who're taking part. I think I've said before, I'll just keep reciting the story of the tortoise and the hare!
