Question/Comment: It was another day of heat & smog alerts. We wanted to get to swimming early. 
The water was warmer than ever (75 F.). Maybe next week some of the others will shuck their 
wetsuits. There were long, low rollers coming in, which made swimming more interesting.

We practised swimming into the waves and back with following waves. Then we swam down 
the beach to a spot where we could practice triathlon starts. Last week we practised 
water starts, from treading water; this time we practised running starts from the beach 
with shallow-water swimming; and “dolphin-diving” in slightly less shallow water.

The picture has everybody except for Mirtha, who went off to change, and Laura, who 
is taking the picture: Arthur, Coach Kelvin, Lynda, Richard, me, Lisa.
