First Swim at Sasamat

It’s still May – and we’re already swimming in Sasamat Lake. After running in the morning in the Terra Nova rural Park, I enjoyed swimming the loop in the lake this afternoon. For my run, I found a new route which runs through the Richmond Sharing Farm - a cooperative garden who’s harvest gets donated to local food banks. For the swim, I stayed side by side with Stan until the dock and then picked up the pace a bit for the rest of the loop. The water was cold for the first 5-6 head dunks, but after that, no problems.

After the swim, we went back to Drew’s cabin for a beer. Beautiful view, relaxing atmosphere, an all round good way to spend the afternoon. Later in the afternoon, Torbin and I headed out to watch the final’s of the BC JR’s Ultimate Champs. Left on the agenda, dinner, then T’s hockey game. It’s been a busy Sunday – a pattern which I expect will repeat a few times more throughout the summer.
