Pier to Pier

Sun shines and I'm up before my alarm goes off. Grabbed a couple of bananas, packed my bags and went to go meet up a friend as he's about to help me conquer this beautiful ocean swim from the Hermosa pier to the Manhattan Pier. It's about 2.2-2.6 miles depending on how straight you swim it.

Done! I finished a little under an hour. Not bad for not swimming at all this summer. There was a little bit of a north swell which definitely helped everyone with their times. Last year's swim, we had the south swell which was really frustrating. But this year we had the temperature drop probably 5-10 degrees cooler than last year. It was definitely the coldest race I've done in years. People were being pulled out because they just couldn't deal with the cold.

I missed the registration, so I didn't get a t-shirt this year. I know, I still jumped in there. It's just a tradition. It's my 6th year doing it, so I can't skip now. I need to get back in shape again, I miss it.
