October 6-7

Well...I got something on Monday that looks like a job offer for next year. And my Nova team mates are getting really enthusiastic for my swim...so I decided to book a date.

I called John Pittman and spoke with Carol Sing of CCSF (who will be doing a swim this year at 68 yo!!!).

Now I have to focus on getting my distances back up and getting confident with night swimming! I went out with Ray Meltvedt and his daughter Sierra last Friday for about an hour at San Clemente pier last Friday night (August 7) for a BYOGS (Bring Your Own Glow Stick) swim. We made the lifegaurds nervous, I think, because they kept flashing us with high beam lights. There were lots of stars out and we saw the moon rise!

My neighbor, Patsee has offered to go out for midnight swims with me to get a sense of the ocean at that time. She has offered to escort swim and kayak.

Now I have to start BIG training (and remember to eat and rest)

I feel really good about this...
