Swimming at Lake Murray yesterday was undoubtedly one of the most uncool experiences I've had while swimming next to almost drowning when I was younger in attempt to learn how to ski. Stroke, same buoy, stroke, same buoy, stroke-stroke still same buoy. We just didn't have a very successful swim. The wind was blowing just enough to thwart our efforts. Nevertheless, we'd biked to the dam so we got to practice transitioning out of the water and getting back onto the bike after a longer swim.
Of course during our transition, we were greeted in transition by "Captain Dan the Lake Murray Man", if I recall his official title accurately. He proceeded to tell us that he saw a guy cycle in one day that got off his bike and swam all the way out to Spence Island. Now I am not a Lake Murray Afficionado but I can tell you roughly, based on where he was looking, that this this tri girl will not be embarking on any journey, unless by motorized vehicle, to this so-called Spence Island he was referencing. Especially given the lack of forward progression we were making yesterday. I'd still be on my way to Spence Island. Still loving my new goggles. My training partner wasn't as impressed with hers. I think, like any, it depends on your facial features. Her face is much smaller so they don't seem to fit around her eyes as well.
After the transition, and honestly having to blow off Captain Dan the Lake Murray Man, we ventured up the hill and back to the house to do hill climb simulations on the indoor trainer. It was, overall, a successful workout night. Tonight's adventure...a 13.5 mile run. I can hardly contain my excitement...LOL. Seriously, the cool weather makes it much more appealing!
