Freezing cold water at Palmy for my surf club's races this morning. Got a head ache by the time I was up to my waste. Who said summer was coming?
Nasty 5 foot swell to contend with and then an easy swim between the buoys. Then a wait and catch a wave back to the beach. Although the rip was fairly good in close to shore.
Didn't do the board paddle this time as I was too buggered after the swim. I get to the run and I have a 60 sec handicap for a 750m run and I didn't even do an event last year. 2 guys had worse than me though with one of 80 sec. I think he won a couple of weeks ago.
Came in about 11th so maybe they might drop the handicap. There was some nice topless viewing near our turnaround so maybe that slowed me up.
Beers and a BBQ was my afternoon cure, plus a sleep for 2 hrs. I'm hoping the swimming will help get me fitter.
