Finally! The infamous sea swim...

As promised - only 15 days after the fact - here is a video of our brave attempt to swim in the sea. Well sit in the sea. And, in my case, crawling desperately!

Swim in the Sea - Shock to the System!

I think you can guess that here at TeamCCPS we have been more concerned with preparing for Christmas than preparing for Tough Mudder. However, as I'm sure you recall, the lovely Liam was the first person to sponsor us 50 whole pounds and so won the chance to choose the time and date on which we would swim in the sea. 

This seemed like a brilliant plan in October but this morning the world had other plans and sent us a light sprinkling of frost - several of the team had trouble standing upright on the icy paths and I had to de-ice my car outside AND in before I could get to Worthing pier.

The English sea. So picturesque. So romantic. So very cold!

"Good luck suckers" 

Friends. You gotta love them!

If you check out the links on the top right of this page you will find our JustGiving site and a few ways you can help us train, as one of our friends has discovered. The lovely Liam (photo, right) used to work with us at CCPS and is very jealous that he can't join us in our Tough Mudder adventure. 

Unfortunately, the way he chose to deal with his jealousy was to take us up on our £50 incentive: Liam now has the power to say exactly when we will take a swim in the icy southern sea.

But when has he chosen? Midday on a nice sunny sunday? Fat chance, it's:

1st December at 7:15am!

The video will of course be up here shortly after and we will be sending good wishes Liam's way I'm sure!
