7/4 A little pre-swim run of 2.5 miles followed by: An epic swim out of Table Rock Beach, Laguna. Entry and exit were precarious as the surf was up and the tide was low, exposing rocks that were trying hard to hurt you. The water was a disgusting brown color (I don't want to know what from) and was about 62 on entry and 65 outside. no wetsuit - 3612 yards in 55 minutes.
7/5 No swim today - did a 4.5 mile run this morning and will ride my bike at lunch. I might join the Dusk Patrol for a dip at Shaw's Cove. We'll see.
