Comments:

About 50 yards out, I was attacked by a seaweed monster for 50 yards. It was getting stuck in my goggles and tangling around my arms and legs. After about 50 more yards the water cleared. The course was out and back along a buoy line that was to my right. I breath to my right, so was not sighting ahead. I just looked for the rope to my right and as long as it was the same distance from me I thought I was good. After getting out of the seaweed, I finally got into a good pace and all of a sudden, I bonked my head off of something!! I looked up and saw a kayak with a lifeguard on it who had come to the aid of another swimmer. Yep, I swam right into it! It made me loopy for a minute! I didn't think the swim was ever going to end because my head was hurting and I still had to fight the seaweed monster again!
What would you do differently?:

Don't get a concussion from the kayak!!

I was surprised by how really good I felt on this run. I am not sure if this course is short, but I have never run this fast! Granted it is flat, but I feel like I must be really slacking on all my other runs!

Nothing.

Karen, awesome job out there.  Seaweed and kayak bonking aside, your swim was really great!  and you must be sandbagging on your running because you were a speed demon out there! WTG
