Conditions were very nice today, except for the cool gray gloom that hung over the beach. It definitely felt wintry, damp and cool, but the water was still 58 degrees and with no wind, waves or current it was perfect for swimming, except the gray fog/overcast made the idea of getting in the water unappealing. While Sam, Niel, Rick, John and Sylvia were inclined to veg out on the beach Katie was having none of it. Her energy dragged all of us except Sylvia up and into the water. Rick had to swim and dash so he did the left half of the buoy line while the rest of us swam with Katie to the end of the pier. Thoughts of heading in along the pier ran into Katie's assertion that we couldn't get out without doing at least a mile, so we headed to the creek and completed the triangle. 1646 meters, 36 minutes in the water. Thanks Katie for being there today and having the energy for the rest of us.
John is doing Ironman Florida next weekend. Good Luck and have a great race.
