Notes
First open water swim. It was cold but that wasn't the worst part for me. The water is just dark and creepy. I couldn't get out of my head to relax. Had to stop for a while after the first lap because I was vey anxious and feeling sick to my stomach. I sucked it up and did another one. It was better but still very freaked out. We stopped again after this lap, not as long though and then did one more, that was all I was doing. It was good to see what it feels like in the wet suit and to have to sight and to be in the coldwater. I don't think the cold water will bother me too much, the worst thing here really was my mind and well in a race I wont be thinking about what's in the water.
