Sailfish G-Range, a morning swim in the lake ... It used to have to try a foam to swim and as the start of Dried fast approaching and the "W" hour was 14 days ... Today I decided to just try out my new toy, a neoprene Sailfish'a G-Range.
I arranged with Michael Zawiad the lake, popularly known as Bieszkami and we had to test our machines to fly. The weather was nasty ... pathogenic temperature of around 15 degrees, but very windy, and as I parked on the beach, their white WRC LPG alone received from the tinsmith, I saw that on the lake in the competitions are held on the remote control sailboats, or something like that, not significant. Returning to the weather, the wind was blowing hard, was light was a wave and see that they can be problems maintaining the proper path to swim.
Reaching memory, the last time I swam in the lake on my bachelor party, which in June 2009, but no well, no light, you had to go for a swim ...
Nasmarowałem a massage cream, ankles, knees, elbows, feet, neck and pulled back by Michael neoprene on the back and once it got nice and warm:) In the foam I had outfit triathlonowy, so I feel like the professions;)
Michael, secured in addition to neoprene socks and cap
I had to flip the red and yellow cap at which I still had one white - red;)
course, once the foam skumaliśmy that we have no where to leave your car keys, because the foam was already fastened and none of us did not want to unbutton.
We moved into the abyss ... to my surprise the water was warm, I did not feel cold feet or hands, or neither in the face. More than a dozen steps and riding .... I was surprised by the lightness with which they flowed, the foam itself gave a very good momentum, and the body was floating on the surface. Just a revelation. The only small minus was that I had more strength to put in the work of your hands because the foam firmly opinała whole body. Flowed very well, but quite awry, it was hard to keep a simple track and swam, like two drunken bunnies, right, left, bear with us, current and wind and on top of steamed my glasses.
I had a little wait for Michael, so pocisnąłem the end of the lake bottom and I saw some branches, turned around and paddled to the starting point. On this page I felt even more is not conducive to current and wave that pushed us in the right direction, but threw away. Sailed front crawl and once again a classic and say that the result was a classic surprisingly fast;) The Garmin had a hand, but every now and then he lost the satellite, so the next time I guess I'll have to hide it under the hood:) I just floated about 25 minutes and according to the GPS did 1.3 km course could not call it a swimming workout, as most of the time I focused on navigation and stood several times and corrected glasses. For each course, for safety reasons Pamelkę mini tow, or a fight, "SP". There is no need to tempt fate ... although the buoyancy in the foam is really huge.
my "Pamelka"
It was a very cool experiment and I think next week I can get 2-3 times the wet bum in a lake. I need to practice the technique of swimming, going out of the water, because the labyrinth going crazy and the man looks as if he was drunk after a healthy and fast downloading of foam, because it takes a little bit ...
... I forgot to write that yesterday I did 72km bike + 15km wybiegania the mountains:) More and more pleasing to me to start a triathlon, we'll see how it will be in competition ...
