Today was much nicer than yesterday. Sun was out and it was warm — very much the weather that San Diego is know for. And with the water temp at 62°, it was looking to be a great day in the water.
Coach Sam asked me to kayak today as the turn around point for the swim. I would have enjoyed the water, but kayaking was still a good day!
The workout was to practice swim entry and exit by running into the water simulating a race start, swim out to me (250 – 300 yrds off shore), swim back in, exit as in a race, run out to the seawall, and do it again for a total of three sets.

Once I was settle off shore, I kicked back and tried to maintain position as best as I could — there was a fairly decent onshore current and a moderate breeze kicked up the chop a bit. Even with the swells, the visibility was great and you could see the bottom 40 feet below. Mentor Brian brought out Tony’s camera, so I took the opportunity to take some great ocean swim shots.

Such a lovely day to be in the ocean!
Brian almost swam into that seagull!
