We got up around 8:30 this morning. Mom and Dad had already finished one pot of coffee and we’re brewing a second. Mom was working on a shopping list. As I was finishing my “Honey Bunches of Oats”, Dad asked if I’d be willing to go shopping with him. Two spoonfuls later, we were out the door. The crowd was bigger today. So Dad drove the cart, and I would run ahead getting the next item. When we got back to the cabin, Katie and Roy had arrived.
Katie and I went for a swim (Katie went further faster, mind you.) And Rachel and Roy paddled kayaks making sure one of us didn’t drown. After a nice lunch on the deck, we returned to the dock for more kayaking fun. A great “feat of strength” was trying to stand up in a kayak in the middle of the length. We did some dock jumping to celebrate our fun times. In this photo here, Roy captured us both executing perfect Swan dives. Of course had his photography instructor known how to use his own phone before handing it off to Roy we would have had a cool video.
In the evening Kate and I picked up our race packets at 5:00 at the public beach. There wasn’t a lot of pre-race info, but it was a nice evening to be outside. We got our numbers and went to a sort of swim clinic. When we got back to the cabin, we had a really great dinner with everyone, although someone didn’t want me to take the picture. Can ya guess who?
Pushing hard today ...
