"Kelp crawl". No kick in the swim - it was all arms. Kicking only caused the legs to get tangled in kelp. At times I was reminded of the scene in Snow White when the enchanted forest trees are clutching at her; it really seemed like the seaweed was grabbing at my time chip and wedding ring!

First 5K was very slooow. I put on glasses, ate powerbar, and put on gloves...and then hit the turnaround.

Made pit stop on second loop. Saw my wife taking photos near bike finish!

Pretty course along the Pacific coast. Too bad the sun wasn't out; it would be a stunning course in the sunshine.

My wife was practically running the course too, taking great pics - I got to kiss her on laps 1 & 2!
