 yes it bloody well does.
| ||||
| ||||
 looks like JD's after a slapping Jo........
PS - looks like Bill is going pretty slowly.....20 hrs P reckons!! | ||||
| ||||
yep, Zuppy has already thrown up. They're in for a long swim.
| ||||
| ||||
 I take it the channel is rough?
and JD - Jo beat me to it, but of course Florida counts - the pro times there are no different to anywhere else - it's just as hard, just flatter | ||||
| ||||
site updated once again. what about the DIM women? didn't KK finish this year? | ||||
| ||||
debbo wrote (see) I take it the channel is rough?must be. I've never seen Zuppy sea-sick before. | ||||
| ||||
 She did, but Mon was still faster then her.
| ||||
| ||||
 Florida is harder than Lanza
| ||||
| ||||
and that'll be 'Captain' Barlos to you scurvy dogs
 | ||||

P says the sea isn't rough - just a lovely big yawing rolling swell which plays havoc with the guts - Lindi and Z have bowked but P seems to be OK at last call although she hadn't been below by then........
going tres slowly although not quite as slow as another swimmer apparently | ||||
| ||||
yuck - rolling swell is much worse than chop
and in Scotland we spell it boak! who's on the boat then - Zuppy, Petal, Lindi and others I guess? | ||||
| ||||
just those 3 debbs.....
P's just phoned to say he's quit. looked like it was going to be a 30hr swim at the speed he was going and he's been complaining that it was tough in the swell. plus being violently sick at the last feed meant he lost everything that he'd taken in up to then - so no energy. sounds like the right decision to quit. | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
argh thats a shame, is he going to try again?
| ||||
| ||||
That is a shame - will he have to wait ages for another chance? I don't know how it works
| ||||
| ||||
yep, will have to wait for next year (and pay again - it ain't cheap).
| ||||
| ||||
| ||||
no thread Scott - just some chat on here.....
the guy was an American known to a few forumites - came over to attempt a channel swim. got 4 hrs into the swim before abandoning the attempt - many reasons not least being violently sick and losing everything he'd taken in as fuel. my missus was on the support boat with Lindi and Zuppy. Candy has had to pull from Sparta - work commitments - hoping for 2010 | ||||
