(Photos: lake, Birthday Buds, Hair gel, can you believe I got into this wetsuit!)

Swimming at Mallard Point.
Thanks to Sallie and Rick for letting us do our open water swims at their lake-even if they have BIG carp in it! On Thursday, June 7th – it was both Ken and Libby’s birthday (and my Dad’s 79th!) and we had a Birthday swim. My hair gets pinched by the swim cap and the wetsuit so I tried some Body Glide at the back of my neck and it worked.
It might be messy and unattractive – but hey I do not think I am going to be looking very attractive in a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride and 26.2 mile run! I just don’t want to be pinched...... well maybe by a cute triathlete.
