Subject: RE: Iron GirlI just wanted to throw this out there. I did the Niagara Sprint Triathlon the other weekend.
I had a scrap on my shin from baseball on Saturday night, and it got infected from the swim portion of the race. It had rained hard the previous night and the treatment plant is practically next door to the race venue, my wife had noticed the one sign stating the higher levels of bacteria in the water, only after the race.
I don't want to freak people out, but it was a fairly bad infection and I am still fighting it at this time (which is killing my training for Guelph II ). Swimming this one is at your own risk, no mention of the higher then normal level of bacteria was mentioned on race day.
