Sunday morning my weights feel so much heavier than usual - no day for another long swim it seems. So I went for a great, very scenic 6,5 hour (120 km) training bike ride to Amorbach and back, as scheduled, through the hills and forests, with 26°C heat and lots of sun forcast, but in reality getting cold and drenched in another thunderstorm with dark clouds all over the hills. On the way back, however, the sun come back out, blazing in the end, so that I ended up being very grateful for the showers and the low temperatures part of the way - Channel training in disguise. The uphill sections even give a good workout to arms and shoulders!
For next weekend, dramatic temperature drops are forecast, down to 18°C by Saturday noon! So I am planning on two 5 hour back to back swims in near Dover temperatures in the lake (not quite). I can feel my muscles growing, but there is still some way to go.

Thanks Mark,
good luck too and have a great tough weekend - everybody! And remember, as we say this side of the Channel: If it does not kill you it makes you strong! Just keep smiling...
Looking forward to more Dover-news.
