Notes
3 Laps of the Buoys at Kershaw Park in Canandaigua
After snafu after snafu, I finally made it down to Kershaw Park for the swim tonight. Grrrr. Aidan and Robby were with me and spent the hour or so in the water and on the beach. I wanted this swim to be a little more than usual, so I was intending to do three laps tonight. I am still getting used to the fact that the full mile consists of starting from the beach, swimming out to the buoys and then all the way down to the end and then back, all the way to the beach. I did the first lap and never went back to the beach for the return. I started the second lap right from the last buoy in the line. The end of the second lap was all the way back to the beach. The third lap was a full lap. The swim in general was very good, better than last week. I put in a bit more effort this time. I was able to keep in a line really well with minimal spotting and was able to make it almost the whole straight leg without stopping. The third lap was definitely more tiring and I was actually actively 'drinking' the lake to try to get some hydration. I need to put a water bottle in my bag and stop and get a drink between laps. Otherwise I had fun and swam pretty fast actually.
First lap: 17:30 (only back to the last buoy in line, not back to the beach)
Second lap: 35:00 (back to the last buoy, 41:00 back to the beach)
Third lap: 1:05:00 (44:00 back to the first buoy, 1:05:00 back to the beach)
Sleep: awful (bed at 12:30am, wake at 6:30)
Mood: excited
Physical: no complaints
