The La Jolla 10-Mile Relay Swim this weekend was a great experience. Water temps were comfortable enough without the wetsuit and I haven't come down with any sickness from the polluted water yet (knock on wood). The highlights of the day included swimming more than I have in over a decade since I was a competitive swimmer and the sunrise before the event:
My teammates performed wonderfully as individuals and as a team while averaging 27-minute miles. Both Carrie and Jesse composed post-event reports that I encourage you to read. Their spin on the 4-hour and 35-minute endeavor can be found at the following locations:
Carrie's Ode-to-the-Sea-Nettles
Jesse's I Saw, I Swam, I Swimmed Again
Those photos are amazing!
