Lake morning

After a tough weekend with my back and the continuing up-down yo-yo of the pain, I decided to get up early and go for a swim. I was up at about 4:20am and stretched a little prior to attempting to put my wetsuit on.

It is hard enough to put on socks by myself let along put that on. I was much to chubby for the full wetsuit so I went with the sleeveless. After a couple minutes, I developed a way to get it on and get it pulled up to where it needed to be.

As always, I woke Trish up to zip it for me. Happy 18th anniversary Trish! First day of summer vacation for you and 18th year of putting up with me!

Thank goodness I couldn't get into the other suit. The water was great and the sleeveless was exactly what I needed. I went the shorter route since this was my first OWS in a long time. the water was clam, just a little breeze and the sun still had not come up.....PERFECT! There is no better way to start the morning; well other than on the starting line of Kona.

I hope to get in a couple more before Thursday.

Have a great morning!
