Um, how did you get that amazing slot?
Bryony RoweGUEST
And, and the whole reason I think I ended up taking the slot was because of this...
Bryony RoweGUEST
The whole reason I looked to swim the English Channel, already being a swimmer and an open water swimmer, so it wasn't just completely off the blue.
Bryony RoweGUEST
But the whole reason I thought, right, the Channel, it's time for that, was because Christmas 2024, I watched Young Woman and the Sea at Christmas with my parents.
VickiHOST
So what's been the hardest part of your preparation so far?
Bryony RoweGUEST
And this is when I'm in a heated indoor pool, say, that's going to be over an hour or not.
Bryony RoweGUEST
I personally and like I said, I do always eat a banana on the way to the swim, by the way, because the potassium is in there.
Bryony RoweGUEST
If it's less than an hour, I may have 500 mil of electrolytes to sip in the hour before and a banana on the way.
