I did my longest wet suit free open water swim today - just over half a mile from Chapel Island on Upper Saranac Lake to our cabin. Felt great and I learned a few things during the swim. First, was that I need to control my first 50 meters to keep myself in rhythm. I wasn't in a comfortable rhythm and it took me longer to readjust than when I was in the wetsuit. Second, was that when I breathe primarily on the left I track straighter than when I breathe primarily on the right (I pull right). Third, I can no longer say swim is a hindrance to my racing.
I did a lot of 50 yards here and there this week but it was nice to get one sustained swim in.
