High Tide
This morning before we started on our way home (boo-hoo!) we went to the ocean one last time. I probably won't see ocean again for a while. Sob, sob! :) I wanted to swim again in the open water with my wetsuit and O went for a run on the beach. My mom walked along side the ocean shore and made sure I didn't drown.
Unlike last Tuesday when I went for an ocean swim, this morning there was a high tide. And that meant the "waves" were looking much bigger and menacing. But I just went out a little farther and it wasn't too bad. I sort of just rolled along with the swells. It was actually pretty cool!
I swam for a little over 30 minutes, nothing special or hard, just practicing sighting and swimming in a straight line. My mom assures me I was swimming pretty straight. She might just be saying that but it made me feel more confident. :)
After we got home and showered and packed O and I headed towards home. We are now in Hickory, NC where we are spending the night and going to see a Hickory Crawdads game. They are the A team for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Later in the summer we are going to see the Pirate's AAA team in Indianapolis. And then tomorrow we will complete the trip home to Pittsburgh. Boy did vacation go fast. But it was very fun and relaxing and great to see my parents again!
PS Thanks to everyone who wished O and I a happy anniversary and also for everyone's posititve comments about my first triathlon! Everyone is so positive and encouraging. I appreciate it very much so!

Hi! I found your blog through the RBF, and really enjoy it! I have been catching up on your posts - congrats on your tri (great job!) and your anniversary.
I am originally from Pittsburgh, and most of my family is still there. I am now in Cleveland, but go back to PA frequently. Not a Penn Stater, as you are, but a lot of my family is. Have a safe trip back to PA!
