May 6, 2012: It was the longest time I have been in the water so far with 3 hours of water time getting me three laps from Oak Street to Main Beach buoy in Laguna. Although thankfully it was a pretty uneventful swim.
Laps 1, 2, and 3...all easy in and out and consistent laps. The water was a little cooler than the night before, but still felt nice. Typical amount of kelp in the water. The swells were rolling right at the edge of the kelp line leaving a very small lane to swim in between the kelp and swells. A small lane is still a lane though.
Fun things: I saw a leopard shark! I love the sound of the eel grass as my head barrels through it.
What I learned: Reapply sunscreen often...especially on my face. Work more frequently on my bi-lateral breathing in the ocean so my right side doesn't get more color than my left again!
Interesting things: Picked up some tar on my hair line...however, no tar was on my swim cap. I imagine it was from the kelp. Two days later my mouth was no longer dry from the salt water...makes me wonder how long it will take to be normal as my swim times continue to increase.
