Comments: The mandatory pre-race meeting promised "bouys every 100m". Cool, I'll line those suckers up on my right shoulder and swim. Race day we learn that there are 3 bouys at 1/4 mile intervals. They are yellow and the size of a medium beach ball. Two waves ahead has yellow caps, so in order to sight, you have to stop and scan, "cap, cap, cap, cap, cap...bouy". The giant inflatable at the exit blended in nicely with the sky behind rendering it useless for sighting. I must have swam 2000m... What would you do differently?: At the start, I felt like saying "screw it" and swimming over to a kayak. Once I found my stroke it was better, but the sighting was poor. Maybe I should lay off the flaming cocktails and get some rest the night before... ![]() Transition 1
