 Swim
Comments: I swam the whole thing except for about 10 seconds I floated on my back and rested my shoulders. I was very happy with my performance especially considering I swam the last 100 meters or so hard and finished with what my feeble swimming mind would call a kick. It did suck that they didn't record my time and it really sucked that we didn't really swim the mile. I finished right behind the 30-34M AG winner so I know my time. He was also 1/1 in his age group. Maybe next year I'll have the skills to do the 5K. That would be huge. For now I'm just happy I finished and didn't get last. I really had fun and in May when I started swimming I know I would have died literally doing this. What would you do differently?: Write my number on my chest because both arms and both shoulder blades was not enough for them to identify me.  Post race
Warm down: My triceps, shoulders, and other such swimming muscles were really sore so I jumped back in the lake and swam around a little. Thank goodness I did that because it allowed time for my muscles to loosen back up. What limited your ability to perform faster: Bad form and an inability to swim in a straight line. I was just thinking under massage they need to add I wish as an option. Event comments: The after race snacks were great. Those were huge snickerdoodles!!!! I would have gave it a 5 if they had us swim the real mile, but other than that I was happy. Last updated: 2010-07-22 12:00 AM

Eat some cereal and get the family up. You every try to wake a 7 year old up at 6:00am? He was not happy. My daughter and wife were good. We had plans to meet another family there and then our kids could play.
Swim about 200 yards and try to not think about racing and my lack of ability. You would think someone with 0 skill would not try to race, but my MO is to go out fast and die within 100 meters or so. This was my event to not do that.
