2.5 Mile Swim 🏊🏻‍♂️

If someone told me as recently as 2 months ago that a swim like this was possible this year I would have strongly doubted them! Things are really coming together at the perfect time!

I won’t be Andy Potts entering T1 in front 😂, and I have done faster swims other Ironman seasons, but I’m back to where I was swim-wise in comparison to other Ironman races! I can seed myself at the 1:20 sign and comfortably hold my own.

I brought Gatorade and took a chug at 1.5 miles (108 laps into the 180), which simulated the halfway point of the IMLP swim where we come onto land and reenter Mirror Lake. There’s a fluid station there!

Set Garmin records for 1000 yards, 1650 yards, and longest swim. Not too shabby!
