    Anybody from here signed up? Looks to be a nice day Sunday and word has it the course is well marked thereby minimising drifting due to currents. I don't want to go asking about jellyfish as I have a feeling I'll be asking for trouble :)

    Did this this morning, was a really nice swim, bit of chop and some nice rolling waves! :)

    Made a bit of a mess of sighting, ended up too wide off the buoys, must have swam an extra 150 easily! :(

    Only an extra 150? :)

    Marshalling was a little light on the Portmarnock side of the course, ended up drifting way off course and clocked what felt like an extra 500m+

    Gorgeous day for it though, and relatively calm given the stories I heard about the 2012 event :)

    I'm being generous to meself although once the times are out I'll be 'ah, was at least 400 extra'. Those gates at the end? May as well have been imaginary...
