Comments:

This swim was really hard! The current was really strong and I couldn't see the buoys until I was right on them. My goggles were leaking the whole time and I had to stop and adjust them. I didn't like being out there by myself so when I caught up to my relay partners husband, I stayed with him to the finish. there was gross seaweed and you had to run really far in the water before you could even swim. Same thing onthe finish, you had to run really far in really shallow water. I guess I did ok because my relay won, but I didn't feel like I did very good.
What would you do differently?:

Test out my goggle before the race.
Post race
Warm down:

none, drank some water and felt like I was going to throw up. I felt sick to my stomach for an hour or more after the swim.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

goggles, conditions, Hurricane Dennis!

I will post my results when they put them up.

I chickened out of this race...I'm glad I did, but feel like a big wimp!!  For all the bad conditions (leaky goggles, yucky water, etc.) you really did great!  Hey, you did it, which is more than I can say!
