At 8am on April 20th, I met Jay Goss at the Enduroboat for his second sea swim.  The water temperature had raised slightly, but it was still a chilly 9 degrees.  The wind gods were again on our side, as the force 0-1 South Easterly wind hardly made a ripple along the Jurassic Coast.  The swims at this time of yearn for Jay are all about getting cold.. very cold.  Jay managed 30mins in colder water a couple of weeks ago, so the plan was to stay in for an hour and see how it goes.



We sailed out into the bay and dropped Jay off next to an anchored shipping vessel.  We first swam Jay around the vessel, to give him valuable experience of swimming next to ships this size. 


We need to cover every eventuality, so getting over this hurdle was very important.  Once we had done this, we headed on a SW bearing heading straight back towards the harbour. 






The last 40min of Jay's 90min swim was his best.  We are looking at one or two different technique issues per swim and Jay cadence has gone up from 48 to 60. 


As ever, Jay dragged himself back into the boat with a big smile on his face.  We plan to go out for 2hrs plus this on Tuesday April 20th.

It was good to meet Jay's partner Faye, who came along for the ride and will be part of Jay's support crew in August.





Great new for Enduroman athletes at the Double Triple Iron this year. 

We have secured sponsorship with Sundog sunglasses, Greeper Laces and Buff; so their race goodie bags will hopefully be bulging!!
