Training Session Details

Comments: This 6 mile swim was at Carter Lake in Colorado. There was a thunder storm during the swim and I ended up swimming through white caps that slowed me down significantly. The water temp fluctuated between 62 and 64 degrees Fahrenheit. I brought duck fat, lanolin and petroleum jelly to use as an insulator but decided to try the swim without any of them. I acclimated to the water after about a half mile and then was fine for the rest of the swim.
