Cold air, cold water, coooooold wind. My lips were non-functional almost immediately. But the rest of me held up really well. Claw hands after maybe 45-55 minutes.
Apparently my hypothalamus places a lower priority on me being able to talk than I do.
Next week – DIY Training Camp! Exciting and terrifying!
** NOTE TO SELF: My goggles did not capture the first let of the swim today. I might need to hold my watch next to my face right away to make sure they are not just paired, but that I am getting the GPS/pace readings.
