Was going to be the 3rd last swim before the Great Scottish Swim on Saturday, tapering down, concentrating on the stroke - all that kind of stuff. Then I come home to find a message from the event organisers - sorry event cancelled : (
The bacteria levels in the loch are too high for swimming as a result of the rain (wettest summer since the oldest man of old street, Oldsville was a boy) washing top soil and all the wee bacteria beasties and their viral cousins into the water.
Therefore increased risk of post swim D & V. so swim cancelled.
Ho hum, trunks back in the cupboard after August then until next year.
UGH!!! Stupid wee beasties... Sorry the event was cancelled. And after all your hard work!! :-( But why pack away the trunks? Who knows what progress you could make between now and next year?!

Marsi very true but my left knee is starting to suffer breaststroke knee-itis and I have given up the gym membership and therefore regular pool access. 6 month swimming 6 month non to recover was the plan.

Oh no! They've closed some beaches around here because of bacteria too - but it's because our water levels are too low. Sorry about the disappointment.

Nice swim, Gavin. Better safe thanks sorry. We've also had problems with that around here, so I haven't taken my daughter swimming in any of of the lakes this summer.

After all your hard work! But better to hold off than ingest something icky and get sick. And you never regret training, right?

Thanks folks, the cancellation made the Scottish tv news (slow news day methinks) agree better safe than sorry, like the idea of a post event party, I think I'll forego the event bit : D though - pizza/ice cream washed down with cider : p
