Notes
Swim out: 00:27:21.0
Swim back: 00:34:07.0
Open water swim in the ocean from "Little Beach" to the second walkway over the dune, on the big beach. It mapped out to exactly 2.0 miles. Waves were a bit bigger than yesterday and the water was freezing cold, probably about 50 degrees. My feet and my face were pretty cold for about the first 15 minutes, but then I got used to it. I didn't have an issue with numbness, but it was pretty cold. The swim out was also easier than the swim home. I was definitely going down-wind on the way out, then when I turned around to come home I noticed that although the major waves were coming across me towards the beach, there was a pretty good chop that I was swimming DIRECTLY INTO. The "lap" times reflect this. Plus I was feeling tired too on the way back. Not terrible, and not as much as yesterday, but definitely felt it. After all, it was a very nice swim.
