Today I did my last long swim before the Channel. It was a warm, sunny day and the sea temperature was a tropical 68F. Carol, Jim, Corrie, and John joined me for 2 - 4 miles each of my 10-mile Cove swim here in La Jolla. Heather swam 6 miles and Brian swam the whole thing with me. We started out at a mellow warm-up pace, but by the second mile we were picking it up and were able to sustain a strong effort level throughout the swim. Even so, a good time was had by all. Since waves were breaking at the Shores, we got to enjoy body surfing sessions each time we swam across.
My swim dates start in less than three weeks. My job now is to concentrate on speed, rest and not getting injured.
