My dad came up and we spent a morning fishing just off shore in Wrightsville Beach. The mackerel were running and we caught a number of Spanish mackerel and a few others. I hooked a king but it chomped through the line.

I participated in the Swim the Loop 3.5 mile swim at Wrightsville Beach. This was another beautiful day and is a really fun event if you like swimming in salt water and all that. In the preceding weeks I upped my swim workouts to 3x a week and got in a handful of 4,000-4,500 yard workouts. This extreme devotion to hard work (it's all relative) paid off and I finished 5th overall in the race. This is not bad and I was happy. I was also 5th in 2013. I only have a couple pictures, since swimming with a phone or camera is really not all that easy to do. I suppose I could bring an underwater disposable type next time and document this journey a bit better next year. Yes, plan on that.
The start.

The first leg of the swim.
I was tired for a couple days after but feel fine now. The next amazing event I'll participate in is the Apex Turkey Trot 5k, where I shall push his majesty Junior Awesome. A few days after that I'll run in the Skinny Turkey Half Marathon, where I would like to break 1:37. We shall see.
Then we went to many pumpkin patches. And dancing with The Wiggles. And had friends in town.
Magic time
