Yea ... the OWS thing is tough.

Seems like the only time we get any OWS experience is during a race. It's probably like anything else, the more experience you get at it, the better and more comfortable you'll become.

I am going to try to go down to Lake Norman each Saturday they have the OWS practice to get in some extra time in the water.

Anyway ... hope you enjoyed the race.
