So far I’ve not had a DNF as a swimmer. On my first attempt at providing kayak support for a swimmer I’ve had just that.
I’m so sorry for ballsing up your swim Rach.
I just couldn’t keep up with her in the conditions and so as a safety precaution we both had to get out – again sorry Rach.
I was trying as hard as I could and was just not moving forward – she was swimming great and so swimming away from me, I was kayaking on the spot and was no use to man nor beast (nor swimmer).
Bollocks! I am heartbroken about it.
Sorry Rach.

It is what it is.
So you can stop it.
You can stop being pissed off and you can stop apologising.
I was first woman back. Nobody can take that from me. It might not be the way I wanted to come back, but I was absolutely definitely first woman.
N it gives me reason to come back to a place I love n do it all again.
So stop it. X
Thank you Rach. But I’m still gonna be pissed off, I’m still gonna be sorry, and I’m still gonna be annoyed with myself.
