open water two

Brrrr...

The past week of weather has been cold and rainy. Because of the rain, Nokomis felt much colder than last week. Despite the rain, the water level is still scary low.

Tonight we practiced entering and exiting the water. I love the "Phoebe run." We also practiced transitioning from swim to bike prep (shoes, helmet, etc. but no bike yet). I can't imagine how clumsy it would be to transition on race day without practice, because I was plenty clumsy today.

I also can't imagine a hotter look than a one-piece swimsuit, shoes and bike helmet. Sorry, no pictures this time.

Took a really, really long hot shower and bundled in fleece pants and sweatshirt afterward. Still trying to shake this cold...
