Today I realized that a 325 mile swim is a bit ridiculous! I'm not sure how I'm going to manage but that thought draws me to keep swimming. I love a challenge that makes you feel a bit over your head but you keep going anyway.
Another day of alternating my swim and walk. The water level has mainly been at 4 feet and swam most of the day. When planning the trip I thought the walking bits would be easier than swimming but it's more challenging. Walking on the water feels like I am dragging 20-30 pounds on my feet and its difficult to maintain balance on the rocks. The river is also getting muddier so I suck in when walking.
One minor frustration when swimming is my goggles. I made sure that I brought a pair that were anti-fog but mine are anything but anti-fog! I have tried a few tricks (tooth paste, olive oil, etc.) but nothing seems to work. I am resorting to putting a bit of water in each lense and bobbling my head to clear the fog. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade, right?!
I think my body is confused about all this swimming right now! I love this challenge!
