I really had a hard time getting starting. I should have warmed up more. Once I got started everything was fine. I probably added a minute or two

Warm up more.

200 yard swim to the exit location

Limited time in open water

Event comments:

This race had some world class swimmer and average swimmer such as myself. This race grows more and more every year. It's just a local race with a small race flair, but still fun. Next year I look forward to completing the 4.5 mile swim. Hopefully next year will be a little warmer.
