Again, making sure that every effort is made to be the fittest camel at the 2008London Marathon Humphrey pays a visit to his local swimming club to get a few fitness ‘hints and tips’ from the swimmers.

       

I had no intention of getting in the pool – I think I have mentioned before that camels do not like the rain and they like swimming pools even less ! (it’s the chlorine you see).
 
During the session I stayed on poolside and gave them some ‘encouragement’ and at the end we chatted about previous marathon exploits and the impending weather forecast – rain was due for the big day !

 

Thanks to everyone at the club who were so kind and helpful – I look forward to seeing you all again soon (although I will still not be getting in the pool) – especially Carolyn and good luck to Lucy who will be running in the London Marathon too ! – I’ll keep an eye out for you !
