What a beautiful morning for a swim. I swim with
Excel, a Masters Club, at a local pool and this morning the pool was closed for some reason. Rather than miss a workout, the coach offered us a rare opportunity for a kayak-assisted open water swim in the ocean at sunrise. It was such a picture perfect morning and with the recent heat wave, the water temperature was downright comfortable. About 20 of us showed up, each pairing off with a buddy who roughly swam the same speed and a course was mapped out. We did about a mile in relatively calm waters, exiting with smiles and kudos all around. With few people on the beach at that hour, it felt like we owned the world. What a great way to start the day!
