First Swim!! (and no drowning…)

I may have signed up for the Nautica Classic Distance triathlon in September… I may or may not own a bike, nor have I actually swam anything serious in YEARS. Literally Years. Most of my pool time has been me, in a pool, holding a cocktail. So why I signed up for this, God only knows… But I did. 

Which brings me to last night… AFTER an hour of butt-kicking-kick-boxing, including a few bruises from boxing a partner… I went to the pool. 

I was only four laps away from my triathlon distance, but to be honest, I was SUPER tired and my calves were starting to cramp along the way. oops. But regardless, I did it. It’s going to need some practice to work up endurance, and to practice my breathing, but overall I was pretty impressed with my swimming skills. HOT DAMN!

Tonight is rest day… Tomorrow 7-ish miles, and only 7 days until the Inaugural Hollywood Half Marathon! Happy weekend!
