  • Comments: Pesky blister on my heal that I got from Danskin last weekend opened up and bled all over my shoe and sock. Before my next run, I need to make sure my shoe is on properly and/or maybe look into some new shoes. I am becomming more comfortable in open water. Now, I just need to work on my endurance. I get so tired near the end. It would be so great to be able to freestyle the whole time.

  • Comments: So much fun!!!! I had a great time! The more I think about it the happier I am about it! The whole way I switched between thinking "what the heck am I doing out here?" and "omg I'm really out here doing this! how cool!" My only complaints about the race are 1.) They gave "my" water bottle to someone else....the announcer said "next person across the finish line wins a water bottle" just seconds before I crossed, but he had his back turned when I crossed and gave it to the person behind me. Hmph. 2.) They ran out of water at the finish line! Not cool! I was soooooo thirsty. They offered me water from the melted ice that was in a trash can....I took a bit cus I really did need a drink but it looked pretty gross.

  • Comments: I had a really great first OWS experience. I didn't feel panicky at all. The cold water and not being able to see the bottom didn't bother me. I just need to work on being able to swim those long distances without getting so fatigued. I hope that I am able to freestyle more during the next race and get better at sighting so I'm not all over the place.
