Tonight was my second dip into the open water. We swam at Klineline Pond in Vancouver, WA. I did a little bit better than the first night, but I had a couple other little demons pop up. Okay, so, I will admit, I am a little scared of the open water. Most specfically... what may or may not be in the water. This kind of falls into the scared of the dark category for me. I'm happy to report that I was NOT dragged into the murky deep and eaten by a 300 lb. mutant creature.
At any rate... we swam around the lake/pond twice, totalling approximately 2/3 of our race distance. Not too shabby. I am having some breathing problems, but I think i just need to slow it down. And I think I will be taking an inhaler to the water from now on. I think the asthma didn't really go away.
Even though they are wicked tight, a crazy wrestling match to get into, and just plain new to me... I think I like my wetsuit! I feel super tough and super sporty.
Cheers!
