Today was a first for me as I’ve never before had to get up at 7am on a Sunday to watch myself on TV. Well I did today as Channel 4 showed highlights of the Great London Swim that I completed in July. It was a really odd experience but did bring back some great memories about how fantastic that day was. Anyone who hasn’t read about the London swim I did to raise money for the spinal injuries charity Aspire can do so here http://www.rockupandroll.com/post/904411344/the-final-swimming-update.

The only problem with watching the programme this morning was when I came on I thought to myself damn I need to lose weight, speak slower, be less northern and really really improve my swimming technique which looked rubbish compared to the other people who were featured.

If you missed it and I’m sure most of you did then you can watch here via Channel 4 On Demand, http://www.channel4.com/programmes/british-gas-great-swim/4od#3140406 . I’m on after 25 minutes 40 seconds straight after Jodie Kidd.
