Awesome open water

Did a 1.5k open water swim. Water was freezing, about 10c. Once I got going it i warmed up a bit, but cold is cold! For my first swim of that distance it felt great. Finished 1.5k in 29 minutes, that is keeping up with the swimmers! Hope i can continue to progress that way. Found once I got into a groove, breathing rhythm was goo, nive smooth stroke, overall fairly efficient!
