We entered a great #SwimRun event at St Estephe lake, 40 mins south, arriving the day before due to a 9.30m start. Nicky planned to walk rather than run, but her competitive side took over & she ran it all, finishing 2nd in her age category. I felt sluggish & slow, but somehow finished first in my age category, 8th overall, over the shortest distance (1 lap: 5.6k #running, 1.8k #swimming in 13 segments). Others did two or three laps of the same course, some arriving in over 3 hrs later! [06/24]
