• Comments: Maybe I'm soured by my problem with my toe, but this was a terrible location to conduct a swim. I even had a lifeguard tell me he hit a rock when he jumped off his board at the shore. In addition to the broken toe, I suffered a scrape on my left foot. As I swam, I also kept brushing my finger tips across the rocks and reef. The race started late (by 10 minutes) and when I asked several volunteers where to get medical aid, none knew where to send me nor did anyone offer help. I was very disappointed and I only hope to heal enough to be able to compete in my next race so I don't end the season on this sour note.
