  • Comments: I really like this race--very low key, everyone is friendly, and it's nice to throw in some racing variety sometimes. Autumn and I are *definitely* doing the 2-mile next year (for real this time!). Edited to add: Apparently I got 3rd in the 30-39 age group (combined men and women). Cool. The Y called and said I have to go and pick up my medal. :)

  • Comments: this event feels like what i imagine tris felt like when they first started out. organized, but personal. everyone is smiling and jumping around in the water. even the fastest swimmers were friendly and laughing. i've done this one since it started, 1 mile the first year, 2 miles the second year, 1 mile this year, 2 mile next year (right, kelly???). i'd recommend this one to anyone who wants to do an ow swim. plus, its a great feeling to do a swim, have it feel familiar like in a tri, but then hop out of the water and be DONE! :)

  • Comments: this is such a nice race. very low key, small, well organized. the lake is very pretty. there are some weeds, but its deep enough that you only see the weeds coming in and out of beach area. i like that i was at the race last year, the first year they did it, and will do this again next year! shirts are nice and simple!
