I think you may need to lay off the beer Tony ;-)
Got no choice Rory - while I was out at work bears seem to have come round to my place and drank all my beer - am going to contact the Norwegian police now to complain about these beer guzzling Ursidae

Hi All,

Would any of you be willing to participate in some academic research I'm doing? 

As you may know, I'm back at UCL doing a master in Digital Anthropology.  One the pieces of coursework we have to do is a mini fieldwork, and I've decided to look at cold water swimmers and how they use digital technology as part of their activity.  I have one participant definitely signed up, but need a couple more.  I'd need to spend a bit of time with you talking about how you use technologies in your swimming (so things like social media/windrush forum for organising swims; strava/garmins etc for tracking activity - note that for this project I'm not looking at cycling/running!) and as part of anthropology is 'participant observation' might also come cold water swimming with you!  The project is running from about now until the end of February.  Anyone up for me following you around and asking a few questions/taking a few pix etc?  I'd be very grateful, and you would be contributing towards some proper academic research!

Thanks

Anna

Ps If any more joiners are needed for any of the relays, I  *might* be persuaded......

Hi Anna. I'm happy to help

THANK YOU! Laura, that's amazing :-)

I'll dm you some details.  Don't suppose you're doing any cold water swimming before Christmas?

Best,

Anna

Hi Anna, I'd be happy to help, but my cold water swimming is a bit sporadic - you might be better of with someone that CW swims more regularly.

Hi Claire,

Thanks, but yes, ideally I'm looking for regular cold water swimmers!  Will let you know if I need to change focus, though!

Cheers,

Anna

Hi Anna, yes I will be swimming most mornings next week. Just not Thursday. PM me your number or email and we can sort it out.

Just a reminder this is happening on Saturday...!! Come support post Tooting Parkrun!!

And they have built a sauna for us to keep warm in...

I'm very happy to being part of the Windrush relay C team..stepping in for Tobi who got cold feet

There is a sauna though..right... ?!
