I got wet.

by Posted on

I won’t say I actu­al­ly swam in the Bay; I spent 15 min­utes stand­ing in the Bay up to my waist before I plunged the rest of myself in. Then I spent about five min­utes splash­ing around a lit­tle. I did­n’t make it out to the buoy that marks the begin­ning of the swim.

I did notice that my upper body was more affect­ed by the cold than my low­er body. If I could have gone in with an upper-body wet­suit, or even just a neo­prene head­piece, I might have been will­ing to stay in longer.

But every jour­ney begins with a small step, and today I got in the Bay for a few min­utes. I think I need to learn how to enjoy cold.

  1. I tried on wet­suits at
    I tried on wet­suits at Lom­bar­di. They start at about $200. I think I may have found a mul­ti-sport suit from Orca that will work for swim­ming AND surf­ing. I’d be hel­la stoked if that worked out.
