I think I've sorely underestimated my fear of lake swimming. Last week was...successful? in a very small and somewhat embarassing way. I got into the lake and swam, with my head in the water, for a couple strokes. This was after about 15 minutes of working up the courage after I put my head in for the first time and saw WEEDS! I kind of figured that as long as I got good at swimming in the pool, swimming in the lake wouldn't be a big deal...WRONG. I'm really hoping Park Lake is much, much more squishy and gooey and weedy than the actual lake I have to swim in for the race though...otherwise, we might have a problem...
On the upside, I can now say that I've run 6 continuous miles :) Well on my way to 26.2 if you ask me!
