Martin Duggan Memorial Swim - Fermoy

Sunday meant a late start as we were all racing at the above race in the Blackwater River. This was a 6km swim up the river and back, the turn point being Michael Flatterley's (River Dance) Mansion complete with canons!!

 

I seemed to struggle all the way up the river, dropping well back of the main group, but I had a battle with a couple of wetsuit swimmers, who I managed to out sprint at the end. A disappointing time of 2hrs 15min, but I swam hard all the way.

Monday morning sees us at Sandy Cove for a 2 hour swim starting at 6am and another 2 hour at 6pm!!
