yesterday, i had a chance to baptize my wetsuit in THE BAY at aquatic park in san francisco. yes, IT WAS FREEZING! coaches say the water was about 50 degrees. we had to acclimate to the water little by little. first, we put just our feet in and stayed there until we basically lost the feeling. and then we did the same for our hands. (i think that was worse!) then we had to get our faces in the cold water, that wasn't as bad as i would think. so then we started our swimming...i was fine at first, but then we started swimming against the waves. let me just tell you the worst is when you are breathing and water from the waves or the person swimming near your gets in your mouth. it was hard for me to recover after that. the salt water just seemed to hit the back of my throat and stay there, no matter how much i tried to spit it out. YUCKKKK!!! so we stayed in the water for about 40 mins total. and then it was off to the presidio to run for an hour.
enjoy the pictures! i'm the one all the way to the left in the group shot.please be nice, my wetsuit is not very flattering...lol.
