swam at the lake...wetsuit and all. oh my gosh, i was not ready for the cold. I knew it was going to be cold, but to experience that feeling of not being able to breath...it was very scary. A guy that came with us "Sam" about half way, he got very dizzy and disoriented. He wasn't wearing earplugs, so I think the cold water was playing mind tricks. I swam back with him to the shore...he kept asking me questions like..." where am I" and "am I under water", he also would tell me that he was "scared"....so weird and scarey...it cut my swim short..no worries though.... I am just glad he is ok! This is a major reason why NOT to do open water swims alone!!!! |
