Had a great swim despite swimming an extra .1 mile
After shattering my wrist on icy rocks in March, I had given up all plans for competing in 2021, as swimming was off the table for 6 weeks and biking was out of the question. However, I had recovered sufficiently to swim in the Big Shoulders Lake Michigan swim here in Chicago. I swam it in my new Fusion wet suit because the suit is beyond fun to swim in and the event was beyond fun. I did manage to go off course after the first buoy and swim an extra .1 mile! I am absolutely hooked and will definitely be swimming more open water events in 2022 as well as (hopefully) training for and entering a triathlon.
