Had a great swim today. Started at 11:10AM and finished lap 219 at 3:03PM. Did one more to round it out to 220 laps.
So a lap over 10KM.
No too bad. Last July I was doing a mile and started pushing a little. Did my first 5KM swim last August.
For some crazy reason I decided to set a goal of completing an equivalent Olympic Marathon swim.
Next goal is in the weight room. Dead lift my weight.

Open water is a lot harder. Can't count of a calm day. And you can't leave two bottles of G2 mixed water to sip from every 12 laps
I don't swim fast enough to consider participating in competitive swimming.
I have thought of seeing if I can do a long swim in one of the lakes around here. But most have near zero public access without a boat.0 -
Fantastic job! Congrats!0
