The swim was very low keyed. John Coughlin, the amputee from last years Maui Channel Swim was there as were about 40-50 other swimmers. We all wore matching board shorts, Navy Blue, to make a statement. It did not present any problems swimming in them and the conditions were very good. The water was very pleasant, say 69-71 and the surf zone was not too rough. There was no negotiable current, but the bouys were small and not easy to spot. I should see if there are any results, nor did I did not ask for my time or place overall.
It became unbearably hot when I arrived home at noon. I relaxed for an hour before heading to the bike festival at the LA Historical Park. I got a bit of heat exhaustion. The folks in charge of the volunteers saw that I was a bit woozy, as they thought I may have had too much to drink. Alas, I was very hot, and no doubt looked poorly. They told me that they did not need my help and maybe I should seek first aid and cold compresses. I went straight home, although I had to ride my bike back to my car.
I actually was fairly full of fluid when I rested for almost 3 hours under the a/c. Heat sickness was my self diagnosis.
Sunday I am not swimming. A physical day away from the water.
Back to swim training tomorrow.
