Lake Travis Swim
Loved it, great weather.
Winner Male Solo 12 mile swim 4 hours.
My team: 5:49 minutes.
We’re all pretty good swimmers, 30 minutes or less per mile. I generally place top third overall for the swim lag of a Tri. Today was almost good enough for last.
Two of our members were at a 12 beer handicap. We could have probably beat our friendly rivalry we had going if we didn’t have that handicap. I’m not sure I agree that was appropriate behavior, I actually thought it wasn’t thoughtful of the other 4 of us. I wanted to swim, and I wanted to have fun, but I also wanted us to do our best and how can you do your best as a team if there’s a 10-12 beer handicap?
I did have a great time and the company was great. And I really enjoyed all of my teammates, they were awesome and very cool and friendly.
I do want to do 10 on 10.10.
Hopefully I’ll have company and strength. I would like to do off road.
I tried to swim my fastest all day. 20/15/10. In my opinion it’s easier to swim a paced two mile swim then it is 2 miles in sprints, or as fast as you an go.
The highlight:
All of it.
The agitating part that I know I’ll dream about:
One of my 10 minute legs, I swam by this huge mansion with a red spanish tile roof. I would get to the end of the house and then be at the beginning again, repeat for 10 minutes.
