Met Lisa again but this time it was 0600. Josh was also there. Have not seen him or swam with him in a long time. It was good to see him. We all headed out and did the same T route as Monday but went farther on the 2nd part of the T section. I am full blown sick right now so even with my asthma meds, I'm about 50% lung capacity. Every time I would pick up the pace, my lungs would shut down. As I was coming in, I saw Gords van by the ramp. He is training Chad for Catalina.
We all got out and stood around talking for a few minutes. It has been awhile since we have all been together in a lake talking about swimming and poking fun of each other. I didn't realize how much I missed it.
Felt good to be in the water again and I'm SLOWLY gaining the motivation to be swimming more often.
2067 yards = 1.17 miles OW
Goody,
ReplyDeletePlease call or email me; my name is Dave Van Mouwerik, and I am compiling an authoritative list of all length-of-tahoe swimmers (traditional, unassisted only---no wetsuits). I saw that your swim was in MSF swims database, and I had not seen your name before. I currently have 48 possible swims that have been performed, and of those, I still need to confirm 15 of them. Please reach me at:
