Sports & Adventure: Fitness
Why do you want to do this?
The Cole Classic is Australia's largest Ocean swimming event, attracting some 4000 swimmers. Set on the picturesque Manly Beach in Sydney, participants can compete in either the 1km or 2km event.
This year will be my 10th Cole Classic and I do it as a way of keeping fit as I get older !! The event is divided into age groups with the oldest male age group being 75+, so hopefully I've still got a few more swims left in me :-)
What three things will you need to make this happen?
Good Training - Being held in February, this gives you all of January to train and loose that excess Xmas pudding
Good Conditions on the Day - Some years have been canceled due to bad weather, other years the waves have been so big that you can't see the next buoy, so here hoping for fine weather
Mutual Encouragement from Family and Friends - this year my wife and daughter are also participating which will add a new dimension to this otherwise individualist event
What is the biggest barrier to your achieving this?
The weather
