Longest lake swim

I traded in my red hat for a slightly slower yellow, and joined forces with fellow yellow Sue who wanted to do 1900m in preparation for a middle distance tri.

There are 4 buoys in a line down the lake, and 2000m was given as being out to the far (#4) buoy (750m), back to the nearest (#1) (+250m), back to #4 (+250m), back to the deck (+750m). We swam out to #4 (16:30), back to #3 (+8:15), back to #4 (+8:15), and back to the deck (+19:00 - getting tired). Total time 52 mins, total distance likely 2250m. Methinks there should have been an additional buoy between #3 and #4! Never mind - it was a good swim and another nice day, although the wind picked up a little as we swam. The lake seems a bit green and murky at the moment, and the weeds are high, but it's nothing too bad.
