Shea doesn’t really understand that the goggles are supposed to keep the water out of your eyes. As she goes under, they fill up. Imagine that.

We have been swimming a lot this summer and are continuing as long as possible because Shad and I are both training. I should say Shad is training and I’m just trying to fit exercise in. Shad and Chris are doing the Beach2Battleship Race in October. It’s Ironman distance – but can’t technically be called an Ironman because that is a brand. Either way it’s a 2.4 mile swim, 112 bike and a 26.2 run. Crazy. He is really in the best shape he has ever been in, so I believe this is his year. I encouraged him to sign up and my encouragement was emphasized because in Chris he has a friend and a training partner. It’s a LOT of training and I wouldn’t want him to go at it alone. Six more weeks till race time.
