Event comments:

This was a casual race and designed more for training and practicing transitions, testing new equipment, techniques. This is not a race with timing chips, t shirts, awards etc. Popsicles sticks were handed out as you crossed finish in numbered order. you check your time online using number given, Women took off 2 minutes from time, started 2 min after kids group.

There was a drink station on the course and at the finish. They had a BBQ grill and served hot dogs.

Very affordable races, fun and will definitely sign up for the whole series next summer.

Performance:
I can do 1:58 per 100 in the pool. It seemed like a much longer distance than 400 meters but I am new to open water, so I dealt with lake currents and the fear of alligators. There was a green inflatable alligator at Turn #1, counterclockwise swim.
