Vanquishing Sea Sickness

I went back down to the Shores today for a swim. God, it was so gorgeous. Sunny, clear, 70s. I've never seen anything so perfect. I used only ear plugs and swam for about an hour at a very relaxing pace. No meds. No seasickness! At all! I felt great. I was even able to rest and look around or do the breaststroke for awhile if I got tired. It was awesome. Phew! So nice not to have to worry about medicating and side effects. All it took was some ear plugs. Weird. I'm getting a lot more comfortable with sighting and getting out past the breakers. I saw a ton of fish and a ton of stingrays. It wasn't a problem because I swam over all of them. It was also nice to get used to swimming with and against currents. I feel very good about my swimming this week.

I took it easy yesterday. I'm behind on my biking for the week so far but my body felt very tired. I did some light weight lifting for about 40 minutes last night but nothing that made me too sore. I scratched the practice club sprint triathlon this morning. I just didn't feel up to it. Tomorrow, Jason and I are running in the Low Tide Ride 'N Stride, which is about 8 miles. Next weekend is the International Tri so I want to make sure I'm nice and fresh. I figured I owed it to myself to take it a little easy.
