Two very important aspects of training are not always the training itself but also recovery and athlete maintenance. This week I’m grateful to two Townsville companies who’ve come on board as sponsors of my Cuba2012 swim; they are Snooze because a good night’s sleep is so important and SportsMed NQ physiotherapists who’ve been keeping me mobile for many years. A big thankyou shout out goes to these two business for their support. Own a business? Come on board and sponsor this exciting event. Got a boss? Tell him about my swim, inspire him and the team to follow my swim as I challenge the Straits of Florida this June and be inspired! Get on board, time is running out, the costs of holding this event are mounting up. All sponsorships and donations are hugely appreciated! Follow the link and get your name on the sponsor’s board now! http://www.palfreymarathonswims.com/cuba2012/k4k-support-penny-k4k-and-splash-your-logo-around/ [...] [...] When training as hard as I do, and I’ve never swum such great distances as I have training for Cuba2012 it’s very important to look after the basics to stay in good shape and keep the body moving.

Well we are about 3 degrees sea temperature now and all our photos are of swimmers in ice-slush ! I am in the pool training hard as dont see much point heading off from South Woodham all the way to Southend just for a 10 minute cold water acclimatisation dip. Tomorrow I will be doing my 100 x 100's again and going to attempt most off 95 this time, with a few at 90 so hard evening ahead tomorrow. Good luck Penny in your forthcoming challenge. As ever, I am very proud of you. x. God Im so damn jealous. Well we are about 3 degrees sea temperature now and all our photos are of swimmers in ice-slush !

It’s the four hour drive each way that prevents us from spending more time up there when we’re so busy. Perhaps we’ll make it for a swim or two this season...thanks for the reminder; I’ll keep it in mind for sure. And thank you for inviting us to your carnival, please send my best to all the swimmers up there in FNQ. ~Penny Hi Irene,
