Sonia's London Classics Challenge – Stage 2, Swim Serpentine and her 1st Super Sprint Paris!

Swim Serpentine - 22nd September 2018 Super Sprint Paris - 23rd September 2018

Race Reporter: Sonia When one race in a weekend is not enough! Saturday - Swim Serpentine On Saturday I took on the next stage in my London Classics Challenge, a 2-mile swim in London’s Hyde Park Serpentine Lake. There were several waves of different distances going on throughout the day with a total of 6,000 participants taking part. My wave started at 10.45 so I was able to have a reasonably leisurely morning and a good breakfast before setting off for Hyde Park. As an overseas participant I had to collect my race pack on the day, which consisted of several temporary tattoos to go on me and my wetsuit as well as a timing chip for my ankle. There was 2 changing rooms (a dry changing room for pre-race and a wet changing room for post-race) and a bag drop. The event was all very organized and clearly sign posted.
