Niel, Brad, Jon and Ron swam today. Allison paddled for us. Rob decided to soak up some sun on the beach. Ron is from Bend, Oregon, in town for a few days and found us through someone he spoke to at Kennedy. He has done some tri's, including the beyond Ironman distance one in Bend. They do their open water swimming in lakes so this was a treat for him. The water was 53 degrees, it was mostly sunny with no wind and small waves. Except for the water temperature the swimming conditions were great. Ron turned out to be a strong swimmer, keeping up with Jon and Brad. Jon and Brad were tired/recovering and this was going to be new for Ron so we stayed close to the shore incase anyone decided to bail out. This swim was 1603 meters and I was in the water for 34 minutes. After we got out there were several pods of dolphins close to shore. The water did not feel much warmer to me than yesterday's mile in 50 minus temperatures but I was not nearly as cold after I got out.
