The water was gross. My tongue actually was stinging! My goggles got very foggy on the 1st leg and I had to actually stop and tread water to un-fog.

Comments:

This was a little tough. I've done a lot of biking and I ran long yesterday. I was feeling a little trashed. I also had a chick right on my tail at the end, so I had to kick it in. Didn't want to get passed in front of the family!
What would you do differently?:

Overall - nothing. This is just training for me.
Post race
Warm down:

Nice hose bath at end to get the algae off of me! Walked back to family cheering. Stretched a little

What limited your ability to perform faster:

nothing really. Maybe having surgery on my ankle?? I just don't have the speed I used to have.

Event comments:

This is just a great training opportunity. Well organized. Volunteers are great. Just wish the lake was cleaner. Such is life in Madison!
