As Catalina moves closer and I work toward meeting some of my training milestones, intensity has increased and with that dissappointment at times. Last Thursday, armed with rope, water bottles, Carbopro, blankets food and coffee, Bonnie, Laura and I made our way down to the beach at 6 AM for my 6 hour cold water swim attempt and Laura’s 3 hour. Keep in mind, we do all of our swims without wet suits. the water temp was 56-57 and air temp when we started (6:30 AM) was 58. The day was very windy and overcast. I had a feeling, deep down somewhere that today was not the day but I kept it down, got my cap, goggles and suit on and got in. The start felt good. I got in right away and did my first feeding around the 1 hour mark. I was making my way back from the “the loop” and started shaking uncontrollably. I knew I was ok because the tell-tale easy sign of the beginnings of hypothermia (pinky to thumb test) was negative. I couldn’t, however, no matter how hard I tried, get my pinky close to the rest of my fingers. I got out. Just like that. I got out and cried my way to Bonnie. As a coach, I am not sure what was going through her mind but she put a towel around me and said, “ok, tell me what is going on right now, why did you get out? what were you feeling?” I told her about the shaking and the pinky. She explained that the shaking was just a way of my body trying to warm up. She didn’t yell, she didn’t lecture, she said “ok, this is what you are going to do: you are going to get warm and then in 10 minutes you are going to get back in.” I thought maybe I did not hear her right. Getting back in was the absolute furthest thing from my mind and the thought of it made me shake even more. I was frozen. Nonetheless, when it was time, she took the towel off, we walked to the edge of the water and there I stood shaking and crying as she counted down from 3. When 3 came, I tried to run in but ran back to her, burried my head and said, “I can’t.” If I sound like a 7 year old child, that is exactly what I looked like standing on the dark beach face buried in my coaches arms. She said, “yes you can and you will.” Again, no yelling, just very calm. She counted down again and this time I forced myself under. I swam for about 10 more minutes (maybe) as she walked down the beach with me and then she waved me in to get out. She put her arms around me and said, “I know how incredibly hard that was for you but I needed you to do that so you know that you can overcome the cold and the shivers and work through it.” Leaving the beach that day, I still felt defeated but that exercise in mentally overcoming the cold helped me to feel like all was not lost that day. The next day, Bonnie and I got in and she swam with me doing mental exercises by stopping me, making me tred in the cold, doing all kinds of mental challenges and then starting again. It was a great day. Before I end this post, I just want to add that Laura, who is training for Stage 6 of the Hudson 8 Bridges swim, stayed in for 2 1/2 hours and as I watched her on the beach crying, I was hoping that one of us would be able to walk off happy…and she did. Attached is a picture taken as I was trying to warm up.
