Wed. Feb. 1

I did a little over 2500 yds. on my lunch hour; did 500 warm up, 1750 (1 mi) in almost 27 min., then a cool down. I sometimes lose count on the longer swim. I hope I am not crazy to do this. At this point I can't imagine swimming 3 1/2 times as much as that mile I did without stopping. And in the ocean it will be so different, I must look for buoys marking the course, not kick the coral, deal with waves and other swimmers, no walls or flip turns. And when I get nervous my heart beats faster and I get worn out more quickly. Having dark doubts....
