In the Winter, the Ocean is Cold

Seems obvious, doesn’t it?!  The highlight of this week has to be Bronwyn convincing Teresa and I that we should put our legs in the ocean.  The water was beautifully clear, but really really cold.  I lasted 4 min 38 seconds – and we looked hilarious.  Kit’s beach was full of Kit’s beach-ers and we were bundled in toques, sweatshirts, jackets, and bikini bottoms.  It was awesome.  I think I heard a “What the Hell?” from one of our spectators.  Even though my toes throbbed with cold pain, I do have to admit that my legs felt better (or rather didn’t feel at all) at the post-run ocean ice bath.  3500m in the pool plus a 2hr run does call for drastic recovery measures… but I still think Bronwyn’s crazy.  A 13hr week is not too shabby.  I am finding Friday’s tough (with the late work night on Thursday) but we’ll see how that progresses as I get fitter.
