The big event of the trip for Gail was her first 5k swim which took place in Lake George. As she entered the water I thought about how swimming is an activity that accepts all body types. She figured she would be one of the slower swimmers in the event so started in the back of the field. The bit of chop on the surface posed no obstacle, and she really enjoyed the challenge of how to navigate it.
I had lots of time to kill so paddled up to some islands north of the the event, the winds through the channels made for some tricky conditions but brought out lots of happy sailors. I decided to get out of there and returned to keep an eye on swimmers. They only had a handful of kayakers and a couple motor boats. A far cry from Women Swimmin' where every swimmer has an escort.
