"On the Road"

Yes we're away. At about 1 pm the bus pulled out.
I managed to get my swim in. One hour 23 minutes in a choppy but warm Lake Erie. I'm pretty sure that all the lake swimming has slowed me down a little bit but I don't care. To stand up after that amount of time and really feel like I've done nothing is very gratifying. With the lake being so much warmer now I learned another lesson...or I suppose it was yesterdys lesson all over again. It wasn't til some hours later that I realized I was dehydrated. (I hadn't peed) I know that the wetsuit makes me sweat, but again I somehow forgot. Smarten up idiot!

Right now we're parked in a rest area along I94 near Kalamazoo Michigan. We've got the air on and just chillin.

We've come just over 400 kms so we're 1/10th of the way there already. Tomorrow Roo will run in the morning and then we'll head out. I will save my bike ride for the other side of Chicago some time in the afternoon.

All the way from Kalamazoo I'm sending "un abrazo" to our daughter Miguette. Sorry we missed each other this morning.

I wish to dedicate day 332 to the almost civil US border guy that checked us through today.
