Re: Arch 2 Arc Live Feed
Hi Steve, What's the approximate pace for the run going to be? Would you like me to ask around at my tri club here in Surrey to see if anyone wants to join you for a part of the run? There seem to be plenty of good athletes around and they wouldn't have too far to travel... Depending on pace, I might join you. Otherwise I'll definitely be there to cheer! Counting the days and wishing you loads of luck! Sigi |

Hi Steve.. been following your progress daily for months now.....(no im not a stalker!!), and well exited for you; sounds like you are going to have an awesome event!!!! The training and preparation alone, have sounded like some kind of idealistic sort of life to me!; however, having trained for the channel alone last year, i do have some idea of the "mental" side of things to.... So, the big day...want some support, or help even.... Crack On! geth Team Deviant |

(Copied from Email) Hi Steve, What a brilliant result on your 35 mile Draycote Water run. I wanted to write to you to firstly thank you for nominating ASPIRE as your charity and to wish you the very best of luck in your world record breaking attempt. As a fellow triathlete, although certainly not at your standard, you have my full respect for your attempt at not only the record but just completing the distance. I understand only too well the level of dedication and discipline that is required to prepare for such a physical and mental challenge. I look forward to following the progress on the website and wish you the very best in health and fitness. Brian Carlin Chief Executive ASPIRE |

Re: Arch 2 Arc Live Feed
If I could only bring the date forward!!!! The weather at the moment in Dover is perfect. The chances of a succesful crossing is largely dependant on the wind speed and direction. The wind is measured on the 'Beaufort' scale on a range of 1 to 11. A scale of 1-2 is great for channel swimming, 3 and 4 and the odds are against you and anything more than a 4 then its all off. On the colour scale, blue is good, green is bad and yellow and beyond is curtains for Steve. You can see from the chart below that the channel at the moment is like a lake. Even the wind is travelling south meaning the waves would be behind the potential swimmer. Things get steadily worse throughout the week and by Wednesday, we have winds that read 6 on the Beaufort scale over Dover, with the winds travelling North into the would-be swimmers face. The wind drops slightly to a 4 on Thursday. I am hoping that this trend continues towards the weekend.

Update…As at 0700hrs…See chart below for Sundays wind prediction over the Channel. Steve’s team will be looking for a wind travelling south behind the swimmer slower than 8mph. Suggestions at the moment are that the wind will be 15mph travelling in the opposite direction of travel. The waves travel in the same direction as the wind so at the moment “Surf’s up for Steve “

Tom - just in case I don't speak to you before, all the best for the Inter-Regional Champs in Scotland. I know that if I do break the record, either my nephew Alex or you will go faster one day anyway I am now starting to get very bored. As I haven't trained long or hard for a couple weeks, I find I have an enormous amount of energy and nothing to do with it other than check weather reports and annoy Lucy. With the weather predictions changing by the hour, a rational decision can not be made until tomorrow evening on whether or not I will start the run Friday morning. SH |

Unfortunatey, things have taken a change for the worse on Monday (see below). The slower winds (in blue) predicted for Monday have been replaced with 22mph Force 6 winds and things don't appear to get much better throughout the day or into Tuesday. We will take another look tomorrow to see whether a Saturday morning run start is still on.  I met up with Carl Davies from the Oak Group yesterday. Carl is one of the event sponsors and brought one of the support vehicles to Mammoth to show off. Carl - the front passenger window - you've missed a bit!!!

Re: Arch 2 Arc Live Feed
Thanks for the support folks. More bad news. The Monday swim is now off. There are more gales forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday. I have a 7-day window to attempt the swim from August 19th to 26th. I am still very positive and confident that there will be a break in the weather. I can't bear to think of the possibility that the bad weather may last all week. My challenge would not even leave Birmingham. So in the mean time.. who's got any alternatives?? The Arch to Arch - Run from London to Dover, swim for 12 hours around the harbour, then bike bike to Marble Arch. The Park to Arch - 500 laps of Sandwell Country Park, 44 laps of Swan Pool, then bike to London. More updates to come tomorrow I'm sure........ SH |

Re: Arch 2 Arc Live Feed
OK... yet another morning of dreaming of weather maps, isobars and cold fronts. Squiggly circles and wishes of high pressure filled my mind as soon as I woke at 5.30am this morning so there was no chance of getting back to sleep. Dare I say it.... but there may be a break in the weather on Tuesday afternoon (see chart below), but this time I am going to make a cup of tea, have some toast, log back onto the laptop and see if the fortcast has changed!!  In channel swimming terms, cold pressure is bad (lots of wind) and warm pressure is good (not so much wind). Low pressure (hence how cold and windy it has been)has been hovering over the UK and is set to stay that way over the next few days. The image below shows why we can not swim on the planned time on Sunday.  For the last week, Eddie and I have watched and waited for a large area of high pressure that is sitting over the Atlantic to move East over the channel. It appears at the moment, that this may happen Tuesday.  Weather lecture over

Aug 17th, 2007 - 12:46 PM |
Re: Arch 2 Arc Live Feed
Yup... you've guessed it... swimming Tuesday night or Wednesday morning is now a no-go with 15mph winds predicted. With a real posibility that the winds could last all week, we have a few difficult decisions to make. Am I prepared to swim in conditions that wouldn't favour a successful swim? Am I prepared to give up the chance of breaking the world record for a swim that if successful would leave me little or no chance of finishing under 80hrs? Am I prepared to swim in Force 4 or 5 gales, getting thrown around the channel for anything up to 30hrs knowing that the odds are against me? If this was the case, we would have to pick the 'best of a bad bunch' and choose a 12-16hr slot where the conditions are less windy than the other days/times. I would set off on the run and hope that the weather improves by the time I arrived in Dover.(Things could get worse). I would also risk the opportunity of the weather improving at the end of the week and missing that chance. The best slot at the moment would to be to set off from Dover in 16mph winds at around 2am Tuesday morning, by 7am it would be 14mph and by 4pm it would be 6mph. Remember that a swim with ideal conditions would have wind below 6mph. So am I prepared for a suicide mission? You bet ya ass!! Just drop me in the water and by hook or by crook I will get to France. Eddie still has to speak to the boat pilot to see if he is prepared to sail in such conditions. If he is, then we are looking at a 11am run start on Sunday morning. And to state my favourite quote, 'He who dares Rodney.....he who dares!!!" SH

Re: Arch 2 Arc Live Feed
Hi Steve, Sometimes it's good to know that the feelings are being shared. What Edgar said about sitting tight and changing nothing is great advice and a measure of someone who believes in their preparation...no panicking last minute thinking you can make a difference. The final stages of a taper are horrendous, but completely forgotten once the event begins. During the week in the shop we have shared the feelings of a number of people competing this weekend, all going mad with the frustration of waiting. I used to feel it was like waiting to die, and raced every week at 3pm! Never any uncertainty about start time, even start date!!!!! Hang in there. You'll get in the water, I'm sure of that. If it's not for a few days yet, so what. I've not packed anyway, so the delay is cool by me. In all seriousness, you're aiming for something big. This final stage is about getting that right. GF. |

Thanks Gary. Well, with all this time on my hands and nothing to do with it, what is a man to do to take his mind off things? We have been out on the country lanes blackberry picking and made a crumble (full of carbs ), had dinner with the outlaws and paid a visit to Tescos to buy some treats. I've just come back from Castle Ring on Cannock Chase coaching Lucy with some run intervals.The first and most important quality a coach needs who is coaching an elite athlete is the ability to get that extra bit of speed from them they never knew they had. Top tip - tie them to a Husky!!! |

At last, you can see from the chart below that high pressure has decided to head towards the UK on Wednesday  With this said, the wind chart below doesn't agree with the pressure table. If the high pressure continues to move east on Thursday then it'sgame on.  I'm not sure if Eddie is thinking the same thing, but I will be following closely over the next few hours the period between 2pm Monday and 2am Tuesday. |

I can feel the net starting to close in. Eddie had told me that there will probably be no swim until at least Wednesday, with the weather for this day at the moment looking doubtful. If it doesn't happen Wednesday, then we would only have 3 days remaining of the neap tide on which to swim.

Dave - I see you haven't let the 'Sir' bit get to your head yet!!  This is the most promising bit of weather forcast we have seen. Although the wind speeds aren't the best at the moment, the high pressure will start to move over the UK by Thursday. All that we can do is wait and see what happens. If you know anybody in the US, tell them to blow East!!!
