today i went swimming in the lake. it was kind of an eerie experience. to begin with, the wind was howling out of the north creating 2-3 foot waves, some intermittent white caps, and really impeding my ability to see where i was going, and at times get a good breath of water. regardless i had a blast. even more interesting was the fact that there was no one else swimming. ok maybe i saw one or 2 other people in the water the entire time i was there. granted yesterday was the chicago tri so i am sure that the majority of the people are either done with their seasons or taking the day off. regardless it was just me, the lifeguards, the random onlookers on the path (it seemed like there were a lot of those today) and the waves beating me up.
i got out of the water feeling refreshed, well as refreshed as i could be for having worked overnight and then slept for 4 and a half hours....
the bike is in the shop now. hopefully they can get shifting will a little tighter. i liked the feel of the new tires on my ride the other day.
the t-shirts came in today. i am pretty happy with the way they look. here is the image on the back. nice red shirt. i'm thinking they will stand out better than the original grey design so i can spot people more easily.
one day closer, T minus 12 days
