Loch Lomond Loonies

Celebrating the end of our 9th season tonight. I had the pleasure and privilege of being volunteered to speak along with pal Sara. Pleased to say it seemed to hit the mark.

I heard a statistic this week that 30% of American adults can’t swim 25m continuously (1 length of a standard pool) and only 2% can swim 400m continuously. Puts this lot into perspective when some have swum double digit miles in a day!

Tally of achievements was:

6 Ironman triathlons
6 half ironmans
4 marathons
Glencoe skyline
West highland way race
1 tour of the highlands
Too many shorter runs, cycles and triathlons to mention except to recognise Gordon Wallace’s daughter Erin’s achievements in the commonwealth youth games.
BLDSA champion of champions
Length of Ullswater,
several people swim length of Coniston
1 North channel relay
1 English Channel relay
1 English Channel attempt
Another 2 people swim the length of Loch Lomond
