There and Back Again
Swimming in the lake has been delayed this year due to unusually cool weather in June. I usually start in June, but about three weeks ago (during the first or second weekend in June) I checked the lake temperature only to find it registered a very brisk 61°. Too cold. But while I was in Utah last week, it became very hot in our part of Washington and the hot weather has continued this past week.

The temperature of the lake has warmed considerably. Today I took a dip for the third time in the last 4 days. The water temperature? 75°! Delightful. I was a bit shy with my previous two swims, but I opened it up today and swim across the lake and back again. I completed the one mile round trip in 32 minutes, for a pace of about 1:50 per 100 yards. I've got some work to do.

Regardless, the best part of the swim was no more lane sharing with the elementary backstrokers. Yeehah!
