I was thinking about Gerry's interview while I was warming up at the USMS 1 Mile Champs in Millerton Lake last Monday.
I didn't know about the Clovis North pool being opened so early, but it turned out fine to warmup in the lake.
It sure helped that the water was 72 degrees!
Ahem... and the B70 & various other suits worn for the race.
I was so tired, I'm not sure the B70 was helping me out much, but I wasn't cold. Guess you might call that a benefit.
I did decide that I will use my older knee length suits in the open water ocean swims this summer.
Already alot of extra flotation in the salt water!
Gorgeous race.
We announced it several times on Sunday during the meet. I definitely used the pool first. A handful of other people did too, including Jeff Erwin.
I was really sore afterwards. This was my 2nd attempt at open water and I'm pretty clueless on how to deal with it. I'm nearsighted and don't have any contacts right now. I spent much of the race zig-zagging back and forth looking for splashes to follow.
