When you think about it we get up to some funny old things as swimmers, don’t we? Squeezing into rubber suits, or not; wearing all kinds of unusual headgear to stay warm or be seen; regularly jumping into icy water then eating vast quantities of cake, claiming we’ve earned it.
Just about the silliest thing I’ve done recently however, has to be that wonderful event, the Red Bull Neptune Steps. I’m not a big fan of the drink, but they sure do know how to put on a party. It was with a wee bit of trepidation that we all piled into the car and headed up to Glasgow to get our game faces on and do what doesn’t come naturally to us distance swimmers – giving it 100 per cent.
