Theme: Open Water
-Swam 2.5 miles this AM with "Swim with Pete" group at Lake Allatoona
-Water Temp was about 63 and felt good.
-Surface conditions were calm but covered in pollen, pine cones, pine straw, pine bark, etc.
-Led the group and with one guy trailing me, pace was moderate for me
About 45-50 minutes worth of swimming
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.
