2014: Day 8
On the eve of our last swim class of 2014, we celebrate my swim coach of the past 2+ seasons Tracey S. 2 years ago I disliked swimming, but I knew I had to get through it to complete Ironman. And I hated 6am. Last year, I didn’t care for swimming but I actually didn’t dislike it. I still hated 6am. This year, I’m actually enjoying being in the water … though I still can’t say I’m fond of 6am. Coach, thanks for keeping it interesting and for having wayyy more energy than humanly possible at 6am! Above all, thanks for being so benevolent to me and my lane at our last practice of the year tomorrow. 
The Benevolent Swim Coach is made with 2oz Hypnotiq, 1oz lemon vodka and a splash of white cran.
