Subject: RE: Decatur Rodney T. Miller Tri: July 5Woohoo! I'm doing it! It'll be my second year for this one, and my third tri overall. I'm getting pretty stoked. As for the swim, I didn't see where you were from, so I'm not sure if you're familiar with Lake Decatur or not. Last year it was a nice temp, and they do a wondeful job of having visible bouys/ people on rafts to let you rest on. Personally, swimming is my best leg, so I can't say it caused me any issues. It is VERY murky though. Definately take a practice swim before race day if you can, or at least the morning of, because it's a little wierd the first time swimming in it as opposed to a pool. But you totally should do this race! It's really well organized and I can't say enough good things about it. ![](https://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/images/emoticons/smile.gif) |
