The sequel was much better thanks to a patient Francis. Immediately after entering the water, I had all kinds of issues getting my breathing right. Francis worked with me showing me some exercises to calm myself down in the water. Step-by-step I worked until I was putting everything together, swimming normally, and breathing correctly. Once I got settled down, we swam down to the pier and back. It wasn't super fast, but I was able to put in around a mile in a little over 30 minutes. My only issue is still a slight freak out when I see jellyfish floating by my face, but at least I know I won't have that problem on race day. I'm hoping to get in a couple more open water swims before race day.
After returning home, I went out on an easy 6 mile run over the Williamsburg Bridge and back. It had been a long time since I'd done that run at night. It made me remember how beautiful the city is at night.
