Comments:

First time back out in a week. It felt good. Almost didn't go out after watching the indicator for a while, but decided what the heck. Suited up in the drizzle, then smiled as the sun came out just as my feet hit the water.

A light crowd early with an even mix of gender making things more friendly than usual. Sectiony, frustrating, but then came the wrapper into the Cove, and everything was fine from there on out.

You know you're on a good one when your legs start shaking...
