I paused at the shoreline for a while after testing my toes in the water. It was pretty darn cold. I figured it was going to be uncomfortable, not painful just uncomfortable. I managed to make my breathing account of five for inhale and exhale. As long as I didn't move around too much it wasn't too terrible.
It certainly would have been easier if I would wait until August for lake Tahoe to warm up a little bit. But then this isn't a list about doing easy things is it? Like many of the things on this list there's a feeling of reward and I don't know . . even happiness after you've done them. This one was certainly one I felt appreciative that I could do it and that I did do it.
