Did an open water training session with swimmers, triathletes, and para olympic athletes today up at Red Top Mountain on Lake Allatoona. I ended up leading the entire group (about 30 swimmers or so) and did 2 loops of the 1.2 mile course. Took about an hour and the water was REALLY warm, about 86 degrees.
Although a bit sluggish I took the session to work on spotting.
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.
