Owen Maybank
It's the final countdown to the swim... 5 weeks and counting.
Things are getting hardcore now, spending all my spare time training for the big day. My week involves going to the local pool before work in the morning and spending most of my weekends at one of our training venues of Sandwell, Wallasey, Rochdale and Skegness, not quite as 
glamorous as the beeches in Mauritius that my team mate Charles has to endure!!!
As well as the training I am trying to eat as healthy as possible, I even had pumpkin seeds the other day. I have also committed to cutting out takeaways and beer, so far I have managed 3 days.
I'll be a lean mean swimming machine by the end of the month!
