My first Midmar Mile

I surprised myself by participating and then managing to finish the Midmar Mile swim this weekend. It was held at Midmar Dam near Howick.



I swam with the Kingsway Church International team. We had a wonderful day at the dam and the swim was a lot easier than I thought it would be. It is certain to be a fixture on our calendar from now on.



The main men's event was cancelled on Sunday due to bad weather - this was the first time a swim was cancelled in the history of this event.
Oh yes, I finished in 44:23. Something to beat next year... (The winning time was just under 18 minutes!)
