Comments:

will try and get rankings. not sure if they will post online or not. i know i wasn't the last out of the water. there were probably a dozen people doing the 2 mile swim, and there were at least 4 people still in the water when i got out. i've never done a 2 mile swim, even in the pool, so i was happy to finish and still feel like i had energy for a run (albeit a very short one).
What would you do differently?:

not be sick the week before. swim more than once in the two weeks prior.
Post race
Warm down:

did a hilly mile run w/ kelly and a little stretching.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

being sick the past week obviously didn't help. this was the first time swimming since my last tri also, so more training would have helped.

Event comments:

this is such a nice race. very low key, small, well organized. the lake is very pretty. there are some weeds, but its deep enough that you only see the weeds coming in and out of beach area. i like that i was at the race last year, the first year they did it, and will do this again next year! shirts are nice and simple!

Way to go Autumn!
2 miles! You make it sound so matter-of-fact. You're 1/3 the way to an Ironman
Well done.
