This will be a very brief post because there is little to report. The weather was fab. The water was flat and warm - 70. The fabulous viz was wasted--on nothing to see! For 2.5 miles of breathtaking clarity, all I saw was a couple of black jellies 10 feet down. And bushels of those salp-thingys. They were like so much flotsam floating on top of the water. They were more plenty than seaweed. I got a handful with every stroke some times. I had to concentrate on not opening my mouth under water for fear of getting a mouthful of them. They weren't yucky, just...OK, yucky.
The Tri Club did a great job of hosting. From the breakfast munchies to the after-swim lunch. Of course it wasn't all about the food...OK, it was all about the food.
I swam the 2.5 mi. in 1:17. Doug swam it in...whatever. My friend, Steve, too. The first 5-miler finished in a blazing 1:39! We left before the awards were announced, though.
