Short run in the parking area and a light swim.

Visiting with family, friends, and playing in the lake.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The course is so beautiful that I really just wanted to race for fun. Didn't stay mentally tough. Not always a bad thing.

Event comments:

I really enjoy how much effort this group goes to to make this a super event. Tons of informative emails. An informative official program. Swim clinics, driving the course before the race and their first timers meeting that anyone can go to. Did I mention that they served hot dogs and lemonade to EVERYONE (including spectators) afterwards and during the awards ceremony. Great race friendly people.

Course: The loop course is great visually. The run through the park was fun with lots of cheering and spectators. The short run up the hill let me see where everyone else was on the course. It would make a great picture.
