1/2 Mile Ocean Swim

Went down to Niantic this morning and swam the swim course. The water was very nice, clear, not at all that cold. No jellyfish either. Since the swim is a half mile I really will need to keep myself from going too fast. I don't like the slightly panicky feeling that comes up on me when I get out of my rhythm.

The swim was arranged for us by the race director, Beth Shluger, who directs all the Hartford Marathon Foundation races from the Marathon to many 5Ks and this triathlon. What a nice lady and what a great job, although I'm sure at times it is stressful. She runs a classy, successful organization.
