My best open water swim. Course was narrow so I think that helped my sighting. I was very relaxed in the swim. I think the fact that I am not eating a big breakfast helps me.
What would you do differently?:

More OWS swim practice. A group of us will start swimming at Belews Lake in a couple of weeks. We will leave from the downtown Y and get to the lake about daybreak. back to the YMCA by 7:00

Great local race-first year. They had a few kinks like no water at the finish line. Also,the lake is a little muddy but there is not much they can do about that.

Good seeing you John.

I was pretty happy with my swim split as well. I enjoy swimming in smaller lakes/ponds, it really helps you to stay on course when you have the shore to keep you in line.

Nice race john! You're right about those hills! I ride around Hagenstone all the time and they are there. The first one after you turn out of the park is a doozy! We ALL need more OWS practice. Way to go!
