OWS = Open Water Swim

As race day nears, I need to get a few open water swims (OWS) in. This morning the whole family set out to scope out a potential swimming hole near our house. We managed to find a nice sandy spot for me to go in and out of the water. This spot is wider than the pool, so I can practice doing longer laps and of course I can't rely on my turns for extra speed. I got a brief swim, but my non-swimmer brother was getting a little impatient. Next up: OWS with mom (still working on a location for that).

I also got a few runs in this weekend. It's finally warmed up, hitting 85 degrees today. Any hotter and I'm going to need to start carrying water.
