Jordan has been training for a Triathlon and he has been practicing his swimming in the pool at our gym. It is HIGHLY recommended to practice at least one open water swim before the race, so Jordan, Karma, and I ventured to Lake Ray Hubbard on Sunday morning for Jordan's practice swim! He did great, I was a nervous wreck...
He swam a total distance of 1700 meters, a little over a mile.
Jordan didn't swim alone, look at all these crazy people joining him (this is a triathlon training group, they allow guests to swim with them to practice open water style)
After a little pep talk from the leader, which consisted of, "I have seen grown people FREAK out on their first open water swim and have to have the kayaker bring them back to shore"....uh thanks for that, they lined up along the shore...
I wonder what my husband is thinking here....maybe, "what have I gotten myself into?"
And they are off....
Jordan didn't understand why I couldn't see/track him as he swam...can you see him?
waiting patiently
finishing up the swim....
1st open water swim...SUCCESS!
