Coming off my first open water swim the Boys Club has unanimously confirmed my reinstatement. Man, those lines to use the lady's room were horrific. I don't know how they have the patience.
Anyway, the swim couldn't have been better. Temp around 70 and the water was like glass and warm. Had a hell of a time putting my wetsuit on and off. Actually had a major ab spasm taking off the damn thing. Coach told me to invest in 2 things: (1) Pam. Yes, the cooking spray. Apparently, triathletes spray their bodies with the stuff, and (2) A good razor. Leg and arm hair cause killer friction with the inside of the suit.
I find it quite ironic that triathletes, who are supposed to be among the toughest people on this rock, shave basically everything, render their bodies non-stick, and wear super tight skimpy clothes. Please don't alert the "ladies" on Bleeker St. And I thought the running shoes were gay (not that there's anything wrong with it).
Ran about 5 miles in the afternoon and it was a struggle. Heat adds a whole new element. Hoping for cool temps in FL.
