I might love swimming!

I know I've been a big whiner about swimming, and I have really not wanted to get in the pool. Now I know why: open water swimming is so much better! I got over my fear and got in the water this morning - and it was perfect! It was cold, but with a full wetsuit, I was completely fine. I wore my new tri suit under the wetsuit, which worked out great too. We practiced transitions in anticipation of tomorrow's triathlon - we swam about 30 minutes (to get the open-water experience), biked 7 miles, then ran for 15 minutes. I felt just joyous when I was done - I didn't want it to end!

So now I'm feeling great about tomorrow's race. Yay!
