Over my head

I have been feeling like i'm in over my head in all aspects right now: work, moving, life.

So why not jump into one more thing that I have no business doing? A 5k swim? Why not?

I did one other open water 5k swim. It was when I was a 'real swimmer.' But it was also the summer I decided to 'enjoy college' and not train. It was a lake, and we swam from South Carolina to Georgia (I think). The day started with 30mph wind. Wind=Waves.

I threw up.

While treading water.

I didn't give up.

It was both one of the worst yet most rewarding things I had ever done.

In all honestly, I found this event by googling the hotel I booked months ago for a long weekend away. It is a total coincidence that registration is across the street from the hotel. I think it's a sign. And it's not worth it to wake up for the 1-mile option, so 5k it is.
