OMG....today I went w/ Shannon to practice swimming for her upcoming sprint triatholons. We met a couple people from her swim class and their swim instructor at Sanders Beach in Coeur d'Alene this morning. The wind was pretty heavy and the water was extremely choppy. There were several times that I was thinking about turning around but I felt obligated to keep pushing forward.
This is the hardest I have ever pushed myself when it comes to swimming!!! After an agonizing hour of fighting waves that sent water into my mouth as I would try to take breaths, trying to figure out where I was in order to proceed forward to our focal point, and just making myself believe that I could make it to the end.
Overall, I accomplished my first mile swim in the lake!!!! WHEW!!!
Aaron and I rode our bikes for a little bit after my swim. It was a nice leisurely ride since my mind and body were exhausted
