Rowing

Okay , just drove back home from the Harbor Springs Coastal Crawl. I have to say that my son and I both came down with some weird stomach illness in the past week...I don't know what or why..it did not take me out of my game ..but it was there. Sooooo, anyways I wanted to do the 1 mile swim anyways...just cause I love the whole gosh darn scene..the place the water the people "i want to feel alive". Been rowing like crazy but no swimming for the last month, Like I said. Holeee whatever, I put on the sissy wetsuit {seperate category, would never even think about it , but Sheila Toarmina { bad spelling] influenced me on wearing one when she showed up with one at a Detroit river swim a few years back..whole nother story...again, I hit the water at harbor springs with my suit on not knowing what was going to happen...EARTH TO GREG, YOU ARE A HUMAN TORPEDO....dam I just put my toes straight back , did not kick at all , and cranked my new rowing arms at the same breathing rate as if I were cruisin across a lake in my boat...it was kinda funny. First off, I know I was cheating with the wet suit , but I was just off for an experimental cruise, I actually waited for everyone else to get started before I started to swim. Then I went..passing high school girls that swam like minnows. Then others and finally catching up to people I rarely see in races "my mentors".It was cool. Row baby row
