My Annual Birthday Swim Accomplished - 🎉
Three years ago I swam my age on my birthday. The water was 55° and clean on January 27th and I got my 7,200M+
The last two years there was a wet winter with a dirty and cold (51°) ocean in January which was no good for training on a schedule and too cold for me to do my distance.
Last year and this conditions improved in the late spring and I was able to swim in late June.
This morning I did four big triangles and a last trip to the #1 buoy to #2 back for my 7,400M, in three hours. Geese, the water had some chop on it today but 3:08......... the water seems to be getting thicker.
I lassoed a 24 oz bottle to the first buoy and towed another behind me and switched bottles at the half way point. I use Citrus Fluid Performance with two Clif Chocolate gels add each bottle.
I'll show up tomorrow at 7 to keep Jodi, Tom and Paula honest and do a nice sunny swim at 11 on Sunday.
