So as you know, I went to open water swim training last Thursday. It is 80 miles each way for me to get there, and 1/2 a tank of gas. So in the name of saving time and money. I decided to swim by home this week. For goodness sake I live at the shore, it is not like we are short on open water.

So I called my girlfirend that lives on the water and went over to her house, off her dock in the backyard. She lives on a bulkheaded lagoon about 200 yards long, give or take. The water was cold, but no big deal. I did two laps down and back, swam a good 1/2 mile in my wetsuit. Did heaps better than last week.

drive time 10 mins....ouside hot shower, home in time to go running with the DH...
