Social distancing in the water

I swam about 1500m this morning! I got up stupid early and was in the water by 5:30, along with five friends I hadn’t seen in months. We stayed well apart and swam back and forth across the width of a little bay. I could really feel the muscles on my left side working. They have been tight/weak ever since I broke my arm last July. I had only been back to regular swim practice for a couple of months when COVID hit, so full recovery has taken far longer than anticipated.

I was really slow and the water was sufficiently cold (14-16 C) that I am still chilled, more than an hour after getting out. Plus I’m ready for a nap when most people aren’t even out of bed yet. It feels great to be back in my element.
