Swim off Turkey calories!


It was a lovely and quiet Thanksgiving Holiday in Naples with mom and dad. There were six of us. The other couple that joined us are originally from England, and the wife at one time worked for John Lennon!

The celebratory Thanksgiving day open water swim had a good group turnout. The water temp was 74 degree F, which brought out the wet suits and skin suits for most.  Myself and another swimmer, Ed, found the temps quite nice without the added neoprene.  We did our usual 3K. 


Friday was a good recovery day, and didn't really do much. We took in a movie and saw The Mocking Jay Part 2.  I thought it was very entertaining. 

Saturday was a big double swim day.  7:00am with T2 followed by 10:00am coaching at FGCU.
