I have been thinking this morning that going from salt water training to fresh water training may be weird. I really enjoy swimming in the bay.  My friend said that going from swimming in the bay to the lake is like “going from eating chips to eating watermelon”. I have always thought that this was the funniest analogy but it is true. It has been several months since I last submerged myself in Tahoe. I am really looking forward to seeing all of the shades of blue of Lake Tahoe. Shades of blue that I didn’t even know existed until I swam through it. In some of the deeper parts of the lake the graduated colors from the darkest black to the lightest blue blend flawlessly with the sky. Where does the water end and the sky start?? I am missing that sensation.

A few more days or weeks until I hit the fresh water. I still have my mind firmly set on GG bridge to San Mateo bridge.  Just 2 weeks away. It is all coming together. I will put in a 4 hour pool swim this weekend. Just trying to keep my arms going in the right direction.

I received a little press coverage about preparing to swim the length of Tahoe. Loved the article… check it out.
