Uschi: On Fridays everybody comes here, about 40 or 50 people. We first came 5 years ago. Since then we’ve swum every morning at sunrise. Even right though winter-time and when there’s a frost. We’ve only missed a few times when we had a cold and when we got covid. Hugh also had some time off two years ago after a back and then a knee operation. Hugh’s 85 and I’m 81.
Uschi:There’s a triathlon on today. I’ve never done anything like that but Hugh has done the Comrades Marathon. It’s held yearly in South Africa and is 89km from Durban and Pietermaritzburg, That’s more than twice the distance of a classic marathon which is 42 kms.
Hugh: Yes I’ve done the Comrades 5 times. First when I was 22 years old and the last time when I was 40 years old.
Hugh: Getting cold is very good for you. Afterwards we go home and do some exercises on Youtube to get warm. We feel healthy and alive and hardly ever get sick.
