I SWAM 2 MILES!!

Ok, I'll go ahead and say it. I swam TWO MILES last night. I don't mean to brag, but I feel really good about this. Since swimming is the weakest sport for me, this is a pretty significant milestone in my triathlon 'journey'. We started from La Jolla Shores and swam to the cove, and BACK! Don't forget the 'back' because it's just as important ;)

Thankfully it was not very choppy and we were able to swim in a fairly straight line. On our way back, it was soo beautiful! The sun was setting and the water had a slick, dark color and it was just so peaceful. I looked around me and felt a sense of peace. Why peace, when there were probably hundreds of creatures under me? I don't know, but every time I thought there was a creature under me, I just told myself I was seeing things, and just kept on swimming!!
It started to get kinda dark and my ears were about to capacity filled with water, but I just kept on paddling and gliding, and paddling, and treading water, until I got to shore!!

It was a pretty magical moment, as if I arrived on a deserted island after my boat had sunk. I don't have a boat, but that's not the point. Point is I swam two miles!!!
Uummm, yeah….my arms are pretty sore.

I'll have a picture of the scene soon. Ahem, someone left their camera in my car which has the picture.
