Manly, Sunday 7th March

Manly Daily Ocean Swim, 1k & 2k ocean swims
Had to get back to Sydney Saturday nite, so I did these 2 swims at Manly on Sunday.
Did the 1k swim first as a warm-up, shoulder a bit stiff from the Lake Macquarie swim yesterday.
1k swim from Shelley Beach around to finish at Manly Beach. Sheltered inside the bay, a bit rough outside.
Started at the back to warm up slowly, then had to swim through a wall of breastrokers nearer the finish. Time 19:38
The 2k swim was more fun. Started in the middle of Manly beach, first leg was about 600m out to sea straight into the Easterly wind and chop. Then fight through a big swell to Fairy Bower, across the bay and back to Manly beach, where there was a bit of a wave on.
Good swim, tough conditions. Time 42:48
