Was it tough
Not really. Did the full one and if you had any bit of fitness about you it is straightforward enough.
The obstacles fairly break it up and aren’t overly taxing
Finished galway bay in around, 3.12
It was awful

10 miles? Well done. Why so awful this time?
I’d say he was dragging 20 Lion’s Mane jellyfish by the end.

Took a lions mane across the face after about twenty mins possibly why it felt hard.
It was just hard. Not sure if that’s why, but had pins and needles down my arms and legs and didn’t feel right at all. Was sore too all across my face, really sore when I stopped for some reason.
Few pints sorted it out.
Fwiw, hot water stopped it hurting, so if you do take one, and this thing practically wrapped itself round my face, vinegar first and then a hot towel.
And then, paracetamol, aspirin, neurofen, codeine, antihistamine and steroid cream.
They are bastards of yokes.
Usually in the swim you have an hour or two which feels very easy, but this felt hard from the start and just got harder. You spend all your time trying to convince yourself that it’s not a long way, but it just is a very long way.
Fantastic event though. I couldnt recommend it enough as a swimmer or a relay swimmer.
They think the winner broke the course record, but it’s very dependent on conditions.
Was flat starting out, then got choppy, which is worse than a big swell.
There was a girl there too who was vicious quick.

Fair fucks @flattythehurdler . That’s some going. Delighted for you. You’re not really selling it to me for next year though…
You know I don’t like to go on about it, but scoring all the points in the county final is pretty impressive alright.

In fairness you’re probably getting a bit old for this kind of carry on.

Missed this thread completely.
A lions mane to the face, holy fuck. 
That’s like getting a hurl under the ribs about 5 mins into a game.

It was, and theres nothing for it but to plough on, and count your teeth in the morning.
They are absolute bastards of things.
