Done and done. Oh wait, there's more?
HP03 is very happy to report that she did not in fact drown in the sandy, gasoline-spiced lake that goes by Anna on Sunday.
After MUCH nerves at the start HP03 took her shaky hands, dove in and was off...for what seemed like a mere three strokes before she has a minor freak out. Deciding she'd just chill and stand for a moment she realized she'd gone more than five feet from shore and couldn't touch down. Minor freak out number two. Breathe. Breast stroke. Doggy paddle. Look to shore line. Turnback? Ocho, MT? No f'ing way. Clear fog from goggles. Freestyle. Freak out. Breast stroke. Gag on wetsuit. Backstroke. Stop. Breath. Do it. Do it. C'mon do it. Face in. Freestyle. Freestyle. Turn right at bouy. Pop up, gasp. Take advice from old lady swimmer "good job, first bouy." Smile, "First bouy? This sucks!" Face in. Swim on. And on. And on. See HP01. Try to Ay yai yai. Instead screech something like Ayiii! Round home stretch bouy. Face in, swim on. Realize you swam on at a diagonal. Swim back. Swim on. Swim into a dude. Consider grabbing his ankles. Realize he should so be out the water. Wish there were water segways...call for a dolphin taxi? Breathe, you may be dillusional. Near shoreline. Give Ay yai yai to the Ocho. Come up on three ladies. First one stands. Immediately plant foot to run. Water's too high. Face in, swim on. Pass three ladies in last ditch effort for small victories. Eat my dust ladies. Fly out the water and up the ramp. You lived. 18mintues.
Nerves, I mean HP03 and HP04 pre swim.
Coors, HP04 and HP03 post swim.
HP03 sends a big thanks to her coaches, hats off ladies. She still has lots to learn:
HP03 realized as she stood there shaking
watching HP01 sike up for the water that she also
needed more intimidating game face as displayed here, more flex like there, and more encroaching tough kid stance like there to achieve her best swim.
HP03 also realized that she will need a liitle more lat muscle to make a 13 minnute half mile swim, as displayed here.
