Kingdom swim tomorrow

Tomorrow is the day: www.kingdomswim.org. I went for a short swim in Lake Memphremagog this morning, out and back to the first buoy three times. I don't know the exact water temperature, but it feels pretty good. The air temperature is around 90, so the water felt pleasant. Hopefully that remains true after a few hours in it.

This week I have been trying to rest up but also explore and enjoy NH and VT, mostly hiking and getting in at least a short swim almost every day. Of course, I do feel crazy that an hour now counts as a "short swim" for me. Last week I had to cut a few workouts short due to uncontrollable coughing, but I am feeling mostly better this week.

I am a little nervous, but looking forward to a day in the water. Previewing the course from a boat this afternoon and eating plenty for the rest of the day are the last things I will do to prepare.
