Post race
Warm down:

Miami Rowing Club pool warm-down for about 200 yards.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The heavy winds made the overall swim a bit more difficult than I would have liked. My overall time was slower than expected, even with the winds.

Event comments:

The race was in conjunction with the 5k and 10k swims as well as K-9 Krawl. Also going on were the Dragon Boat races and the Wake Boarding competition. Too much going on with too few volunteers made for a lot of commotion and confusion. Fun race but would recommend to ease up on the amount of events going on at the same time. Good use of vendors and activities however did not see the sponsor there: Nike?
