woke at 2:45 (slept great until 2:45 — 15 minutes before my alarm)

SWIM:  2 hours

comments:  I was scheduled a 3 hour swim this morning so woke very early to start at 5:00.
I ended up starting around 5:30 and it very dark because there was no moon light.
30 minutes into my swim, in total darkness, I swam through a school of jelly fish – stung my face, my arm pits, my chest … I was lucky it was not a school of the madussa jelly fish — but still it really took my focus off the swim.
It is a very weird to swim in complete darkness, but to swim in complete darkness and get stung by a bunch of jelly fish … makes it a some what scary experience.

Both my shoulders were sore the first 20 minutes of the swim, but felt better as the swim progressed.
