DIP

I got back from today's bike ride hot and sweaty so I took the first pool plunge of the year.

Not much of a risk in that. The air was about 70 and more in the sun and I have gotten the pool up to 87 with solar in just about ten days.

The dip was mmmmm-good!

We have had a fast turn into summer with temps in the 90's for a couple of days. This is not likely to continue so the dips may not be a regular thing from now on. But it is an auspicious start.

A sidenote: this is the first season where I actually thought about whether to get my hair wet or not. It is very long. I decided to go for it and to tie it back wet. A new look. I am right there with the tourists!

I think that tying it wet may also 'set' the tail and make it easier to keep back even when it is down.

Sorry. You have to have long hair to get this, I think.

In any case, the brief moment of panic just before I went in: "My GOD I am going to get my hair wet" was followed by "I will get it all buzzed off and down to a #2 metal again". Followed by diving into the pool, drying off, tying back and forgetting about it.

Recovery.
