wouldn’t you know it? the first week I plan on starting to swim again since summer of 05’ and it will be the coldest week in over 25 years for florida. nice timing, huh? as much as i would rather bike inside or run all bundled up, i will not. when I say I’m going to do something, i do it no matter what. plus, i got the nod from 2 triathletes i trust completely and hold in high regard to not steer me wrong and they said “go”! and so I will.
driving in on my way to work this morning, since it is a boring ride, i was having these funny visions of me showing up at the pool with a wetsuit. what a sight that would be. or what if I were the only swimmer to show up because i failed to realize IT REALLY IS TOO COLD to swim and i didn’t get that memo? whatever! i’m swimming today come hell or highwater. although, i think i would prefer hell today, as it is probably warmer. who knows, maybe the pool will feel like a sauna (I hope) compared to the outside air temp which should only reach 48 degrees today.
wish me luck that I live to tell about this and don’t end up in the ER with hypothermia. i’ll post a part deux tonight with all the crazy details of my experience.
until next time...
Go get 'em, KC! I'll be following along. Swimming isn't that bad if the water is nice and warm. Can't wait to hear how it went.
