In the past 2 weeks Ive swam a mile 2 different times. This is truly and epic accomplishment for me. Im slow and I just dont feel "awesome" in the water. Aside from that Ive been terrified of the water since my Peregrine Charities Tri. I dont understand why. Im not afraid of the water. Im afraid of the distance more than anything else. I suppose its a lack of open water swims. On my list of goals to do more open water swimming. Aside from that. 2 mile long swims in less than 2 weeks is a big deal for me. Im not really losing any weight at this moment but I do seem to be progressing at least in one discipline. Now to focus on some running too. If I can get the Swim and Run down I can "Fake" the Bike right Rachelle? ;) An Olympic may not be to far fetched for me even yet this year. I was truly hoping for a 70.3 this year but I think my season is going to lapse before I can get there. I guess ill focus on the run and get the Half marathon and potentially a marathon.

Great Article : Chrissie Wellington's guide to the open water swim
Update:
I absolutely love my Prescription goggles I got from swimoutlet.com. They are a good fit and feel and for the first time ever I feel more secure in the water because I can actually see. Cheap enough for anyone and easy too.
