Reto Acapulco tomorrow!

I am here in Acapulco, Mexico to swim the 13.5 mile Reto Acapulco, across the bay and back. It starts at 3:30am so I get to swim by moonlight for at least 3 hours. Ian is here to throw me water bottles from the safety boat and he has fashioned a cool rod with a cup on the end to hand me food from afar, since I cannot touch the boat.
It is beautiful here, the water is over 80 degrees centigrade. Showers are expected during the swim, which is fine for us swimmers. Harder for the support teams on the boats…
