At the end of May recovering from a minor operation to my hand/wrist my husband and I set ourselves the challenge of completing a 10km swim and raising some funds for 3 charities.  I’m pleased to report I completed the Dart 10km swim on Sat with 398 others!  I’d set myself a target that if I did it in under 3 hrs I’d be really pleased and over 3 1/2 hrs I’d be disappointed and I did it in 2 hrs 57 mins – so really, really pleased.   The scenery (above the water) was stunning, below the water decidedly murky (couldn’t see hand at full stretch – or even half stretch at times). There were some tough moments and had to dig deep (do a bit of sports psychology/coaching on myself!) and the last 45 mins I was feeling cold (the river is a few degrees cooler than the sea) and knew that I had to swim harder to warm up, but was beginning to get tired!

 BBC’s One Show followed us and we are on Weds 7^th September.

 Anyone who would like to help me increase the funds raised for charity, my Just Giving links stay active for a while and are:

http://www.justgiving.com/Sarah-Fenwick-Younger-0 for the Earl Mountbatten Hospice

http://www.justgiving.com/Sarah-Fenwick-Younger- for ActionAid

http://www.justgiving.com/Sarah-Fenwick for Women’s Sport and Fitness

 JustGiving sends your donation straight to the charity and automatically reclaims Gift Aid if you’re a UK taxpayer, so your donation is worth even more. I hope you’ll join me in supporting these charities.

Thank you

Sarah
