openwater afternoon...

Friday mid-afternoon:

K & I had early out Friday today so we headed down to Oak St beach on Lake Michigan to get in our last openwater distance swim before Steelhead next Saturday. We wetsuited up and swam together starting at about 1:30pm heading out to the farthest turn-around buoy point just at about a half mile and turned back to the beach for the last half mile of the swim. We swam pretty much side by side the whole distance as our swim abilities are almost the same. It was a great confidence builder as we headed ashore knowning that we got in a proper openwater swim before the half IM in 7 days time now :-)
