This morning Irene and I arrived in 2 separate cars, since
she had to go to work after our swim at Wildwood Lake
A handful of us entered the water and started swimming to
the left the sun and its reflection.
Irene was still a little nervous and got to the halfway point. She was about 25 yards behind me. Then I noticed Coach, Danielle start swimming
towards Irene to check in on her. I
finally got to the other side and Deepak was treading water and waited for me,
which I really appreciated. He completed
Ironman Syracuse 70.3 a couple of weeks ago and this was his first time at the
lake.
The both of us headed towards the far side of the lake which
I never have been before. I aimed for
the house and some kind of floating thing.
We both finally made to be greeted by John, Jose and Shane. As soon as we arrived, it was time to head
back and get on our bikes. John pointed
to the light pole, like he was Babe Ruth pointing to where we was going hit his
homerun. Technically this is John's
tapering week before he does his first Ironman at Lake
Placid , but I am not sure if he is quite tapering... That is another story, and he looks strong
for his race!
About 25 minutes later, I finally stood up and Irene was
waiting for me and Deepak said his Garmin showed 1.32 miles. I thought perfect, because my watch did not
pick up 0.23 miles and showed that I did 1.09 in 58.55, which means I should be
good for Timberman 70.3 next month. A
little more training and I should be faster.
Never thought I would be able to swim that far ever. Note, Ironman Swim
Distance is 2.4 miles.
On to the bike!
