Finished!


Jason and I just finished both 1 and 2 mile swims. I must say that this lake is clearly my favorite lake to swim in.. The water's nice and crisp, weather's balmy 80 degrees and 2 beautiful California pines all around providing a intoxicating fragrance. Can't wait to come back next year!

1 mile down


Two more to go. Photo credits go to Jason!

Jason


Jason's relaxing and reading before the race. Unlike our usual selves, we got here early so we have plenty of time to relax.

It doesn't look that big, but it would probably take 1 hour to drive around. Or maybe 45 mins.

Race


The 1 mile swim goes out and back in the water you see here. The 2 mile swim which follows goes around the little island you see in the center of the picture.

Openwater race


This morning, Jason and I are doing a 1 and 2 mile swim at Whiskeytown Lake near the Shasta mountains. Beautiful and warm 75 degree weather at 9 am. Water temperature I guess is about 68 today, which is perfect for the swim!
