day 1

Day one was absolutely perfect.there was no wind, and no rain. And miracle of miracles it did not rain yeaterday night. Despite the lightning storm. And we count our blessings!
The first day was 65 miles and I started at 6 am after a restless night where I threw in the towel at 4 am and got up.I finished at 10:15 and headed for the pool, which was a great aquatic center. I saw people there that recognised me from last year. I sat there for 5 hours and dozed after swimming laps for a mile.finally found a good church dinner and called it a night at 10 after watching Tom down at least 20 beers. Yes 20. And we was still standing.
