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.

Open Water Swim:
Swam with Malena Hankins this morning up on Lake Allatoona (while her husband, John, support kayaked for us). She was just starting when I showed up so I waited to join in on the next lap. Water was up, clear, and flat...perfect. Only thing was temp....with the cooler temps this week (dropping in the 40's at night) the water cooled quite a bit since last Saturday. My guess is that it was about 70ish. So I jumped in and goosebumps right away. It took a good 15 minutes to really warm up. The cold mostly bugs my inner ears more than anything, but it wasn't bad. Once I got going it felt great.
So I did one lap swim, one pull with buoy and paddles (picked up from shore real quick) and the final lap swim. Malena and I pushed the last 1/2 mile to the finish. So she did a little over 4 miles and me a little over 3 (5k). Probably swam about 70-75 minutes for me I'd guess.

Open Water Swimming:
Swam with the "Swim with Pete" group up on Lake Allatoona this morning. Malena and Marianne were also there. Conditions were perfect (air 65-70, overcast to mostly cloudy, calm and clear water, water about 76 I'd guess). I did 5 laps of the 1.2 mile course and then another loop of the inner cove to get to 10K. Then after I tried to swim out to Malena to do one more lap but she had too big a lead for me to catch her and I had started to cool down and get stiff. I swam with one other guy and "buddied" up on the swim which always makes it a bit better. I didn't set out to do so much, but I felt pretty easy and got into a good rhythm so why not.....plus I've been slacking this week. Marianne did 5K and Malena swam until WAY after everyone was gone and did 8 laps (about 10 miles!!) Malena is a OW distance stud (or is it studette?!)
10.5K
About 1 hr 50 min (but I didn't have a watch)
