Swim

Got up nice and early and went to Heron lake for the first time to try my new wetsuit out. I met Jonathan there too.

The water wasn't as cold as I expected (except when sticking my face in for the first few times), but swimming front crawl was beyond me as I couldn't get a breath without drinking eau de lac.

Did two short laps, which are somewhere between 400-500M, with a 10 minute break. This at least proves I can swim the diatance using breaststroke, but the triathlon time is looking like at least 15 minutes. I might be able to swim a bit faster, but I know that would totally exhaust me for the rest of the race.
