Day 9 - 6th March

Latest Update:Even though it's a rest day, it's not like I'm lying around taking it easy! I was still up early to get some physio. Well, I say early - it was nowhere near as early as when I was doing the cycle leg of the challenge.

I've also been doing a round of press interviews with David Walliams, who's joining me on the swim. David's been on top form all morning. He's revealed a fear of sharks, which wasn't something I was worrying about until he mentioned it.

Of the challenge so far, the 14-mile swim is the section where I have the least natural ability. To stop me getting too nervous about it, there's talk of going to Gibraltar later depending on how many press interviews there are left to do.
