Newport Beach, CA 2 Mile Pier to Pier Swim



Shelle, Marcia, and Jeff packed up and went to California for the Balboa to Newport Pier swim. We met up with Marcia's friend Paula and her daughter Kelley (from Texas). Race day was overcast and in the 60's, water temp. was 63 degrees, and the sea was angry that day my friends:) The race start was typical craziness, 350 swimmers running into the water at the same time. Once the swim got going and everyone spread out it was great. All 5 of us finished with flying colors and Marcia finished 1st in her age group:). Marcia won a gift card which we promptly spent on margaritas.
