Maiden Voyage

I bought my new Kayak just about 2 weeks ago, but haven't been able to get her out.  Today I was supposed to get Ben Gherardi in the water for a 1 hour swim, but when he arrived, I could clearly tell something was wrong.  He was coughing, hacking, and just not acting like himself.  He told me that he wasn't feeling well and thought that it would get better on the ride to the lake.  No way he needed to get in the water not feeling 100%, so I sent him home.  I did, however, get the kayak out to watch the sunrise.  It was very quiet, peaceful, and serene.  I was the only  one out there and really enjoyed every minute of it.  There was a moment where I saw random bubbles coming up from beneath.  They passed right by the kayak and started to head away from me in the opposite direction.  I decided to follow them and eventually circled them for a few minutes as they advanced out into the lake.  Nothing ever surfaced and I have no idea what was down there.  You can see where this occurred on my Garmin data:

Bartlett Lake Monster?

Kayak!

Pulled the trigger on this 10' beauty today!  Time to take triathlon coaching to the next level....supervised open water swims.
