Labor Day Open Water Swim

There is a good-sized group from the team heading to the Rev 3 half iron distance triathlon in Sandusky, OH this coming weekend, so we had an open water swim this morning.

Photo: A good turnout from the team for open water swim practice.  The slightly cooler weather had everyone psyched out before getting in, but the lake still felt like a bath tub.  Beautiful morning sunlight.

Everyone is swimming so well they had whipped out around the no-wake buoy before I could even get started paddling.  Amanda P was rocking the lead on the first lap.


Everyone getting ready for lap 2.  This is half iron taper week, so the whole workout was only ~30 minutes of swimming.  That doesn't count floating around and socializing, which is also nice.

1 year ago Barry Smith (pictured here swimming, with mohawk) had never done a triathlon.  Now he is less than a week out from doing his first half iron distance.  He has also been hugely supportive in encouraging some of his friends and many of his team mates to also do the race.  Good luck Barry.


Barry: That is one crazy haircut, man.  It will make you go fast!
