On the 15th of December, I attended the Waterford Filipino-Irish Community Christmas Party and performed a few songs. This one was One More Light by Linkin Park, in memory of my mother who passed suddenly in September. #MissYou

Lovely morning for a sea swim. Air temp a chilli 2c, but there's not a breeze so it wasn't bad getting out of the water. Water dropped down to 10c, but still managed 1km. Could have done more but got up late and didn't have the time to do more.

Last year I swam 260km total for the year, I wanted to not just break that but to smash it this year. I set myself a target for 500km for 2024 and this morning I ticked over that target with loads of time to spare. 😁

Bring on 2025 and see can I best that again

First day in the sea since the 16th (a lot of Pool swimming still though). Water temp dropped 3c since I was last in. Bit of a cold sting getting in but quickly normalised and still managed a 1km swim.
