Jen's Training Log / July 2

Well, I took Monday off -- because my training calendar said I could! Yesterday was supposed to be a swim day, but I got down to Foster Arends too late (with a bunch of my tri group... which would've been sooo fun!) and it was closed.

So. This morning, Lisa, LaNae and I hit Foster Arends for our quarter-mile swim. It was my first-ever open water swim. And it sucked.

I'm so sad. It really sucked. All my swim confidence flew out the window. I wasn't as fluid or confident or skilled in the "lake" as I am in the pool. I felt less buoyant and I struggled far more than usual. I had to stop several times.

Guess it's time to really hit that swimming. I have a month to go -- and it looks I'll be spending it in the water! :), Jen
