Sometimes life just does...

So anyway, given some latest developements, I haven't been able to keep up my training routine, so I guess that life just gets in the way sometimes. Anyway, it was back in the water yesterday in Lake Washington for an Open Water Swim, wow, okay, that was an eyeopener. Not like the pool at all, did feel more comfortable in the lake though. Did about a 300 yard swim in 8 minutes or so, not too bad, I'm much more comfortable in the lake or open water than I am in a swimming pool.
