Last

Yesterday was my last workout before my big triathlon this weekend. It was a lake swim at 5:30 am. I stepped out of my car and immediately wished I had brought my camera.

The moon was almost full and still lingering heavy and bright in the sky. The dark was almost gone as the dawn was trying to break through. The lake was so eerily still, only when I stepped in was there a ripple.

As I swam, the sun began to show itself over the tree tops and with each passing lap more and more light reflected off the water I was rushing through. I couldn’t believe I was alone in this quiet world of water, where day was breaking and everything was waking, so peaceful and so beautiful.

As I got out of the water, I turned to look back at where I had been and thought, what a great way to end the season.
