Early Morning Swim with the Minden Manatees 5.30am-7.00am

Finally made contact with the local masters swimming club in Minden. They are the Manatees and number from about 4 to about 10. This morning there were 5 of us but with a couple of others who seemed part of the club too.

Very friendly bunch and very welcoming of a new face. I couldn't keep up with the programme but I haven't trained in the pool for a few weeks and am still a little knackered from the Death Ride.

Good bunch though, so will be getting up at 4:45am 3 times a week now. This will no doubt aid my transition to UK time!

Pool is great. It's a heated outdoor pool with an unobstructed view of the mountains. Grand!
