This was my longest swim since I hurt myself! 8 hours...and this is the way it went:
6:57-7:48 (51)
7:50-8:40 (50)
8:42-9:31 (49)
9:33-10:24 (51)
10:26-11:17 (51)
11:19-12:12 (53)
12:14-1:08 (54)
1:10-2:03 (53)
2:05-3:16 (71)
All of the legs were Oak to Main and back (approx. 1.65 miles) except the last, which included the rocks past Brook Street and back (2.25 miles)
483 minutes (8 hours 3 minutes) for 15.45 miles!
I saw lots of Garibaldi, pretty schools of fish and some interesting looking sharks. Not too many people and the guards are gone (I miss them).
As I was getting out, an overly-tanned man said "Are you tired yet? I watched you swim since 10am!" I guess I was tired but my arms were sore more than anything. In the middle of the swim my lower back hurt a lot, but I would roll-stretch and do some backstroke...that didn't help but the pain went away eventually. I am wondering what the channel will feel like more than anything.
16 more days.
