I admit that swimming wasn't exactly the aim of this one. Still, I think that since we were in unheated water with the air temperature at around zero degrees, this a worthy bennett-swims post!
Yesterday we went rafting at the Lee Valley White Water Centre, where the Olympic white water events will be hosted later this year. We met our friends in the cold winter's air at the train station with no small amount of trepidation, and I admit there were a couple of moments when I thought the Bennett Bravado was getting the better of me!
We got there pretty late, so rushed through the kit collection and induction, which was a slick operation, and were soon on the water. Cold water, adrenaline and laughter - totally recommended to anyone (over 14 I think) who can make it before April, or after the Games if not. Best served chilled.
