Took to the lake today (Allatoona) with the family. Took the boat out and found a nice big cove. While everyone else played around the anchored boat I took off for an OW swim around the cove and back. Ended up being about a 35 minute swim. THEN the boat wouldn't start so I ended up swimming quite a bit more pulled the boat from the shore as it drifted in towards shore. We ended up getting a tow back to our dock luckily. Spend most of the day in the water with the kids, so it was a good "unoffical" workout.
Day off tomorrow, but I'll be back at the lake.
This is a blog I created in August 2008 to keep up with my progress back in the swimming world. Prior to the Summer of 2008 I haven't really done a swimming workout in 15 years when I was about 75 lbs. lighter! My main motivation is for the health benefits and having something to train towards....but really there are SO many other benefits.

Beaufort River Swim
Beaufort, SC
10:15 AM Start (Water)
Water Temp: About 77-78 degrees & Calm (with tide)
Weather: About 85 degrees and Sunny
Results:
50 Minutes 50 seconds
8th Place Overall
1st Place in 30-39 Male Age Group (Carlton Bruner, 47:50, who was 1st overall, so technically I was 2nd)
-Felt, did great I feel for my first ever open water swim. I really loved it.
-One note, be sure you follow people that know where they are going....I ended up swimming more than I needed to.
-Bilateral breathe, otherwise you WILL wear out a shoulder
-Its ALOT different than pool swimmer....lots of lifting of the head to find your sight references
