Another beautiful morning in San Francisco - Air temperature 55F - Water ... about the same

M2 Group Aquatic Park Swim April 27th 2012


Just in time to get the Open Water Mojo for Wildflower a few of us M2 athletes gathered for quick AP swim this morning. 7AM and the sun just making up over the Berkley hills, we got ready with our usual routine of applying body glide, corking orifices and adding layers of neoprene. Mike started his ballet routine ...


Looking awfully good this morning (missing Kahn, shown later)



The water was colder than last week, but tolerable (OK it's cold, but hey, it's AP after all). Some of us ventured out to the opening and caught a glimpse of the Golden Gate Bridge, while some stayed along the buoy line, all of which are acceptable options. Kahn and I had a quick wrestle - perfect preparation for wildflower ;-) ... but then he was gone ...
A quick 30-45mins later everyone was back on dry land ... some already dressed ... some never got wet ...


... while others had the technique for sand removal nailed:


Great fun it was. See you all and more next time as the M2 group practices mass starts, kicking and banging as well as drafting. Put Friday 7AM on your calendar for this summer.
