Two loop course. Felt pretty tired and first loop, as expected. It takes me 800 to warm-up. On the second look I felt much better. Just kept doing what I know to do... stroke, stroke (6-8 times), sight. Repeat. :)

I kept seeing a white cap to my right, so I made sure to keep up with her. It was actually hard and she was even breast stroking and back stroking!

She beat me out of the water, but I ran past her over the timing mat.

My time: 22:14.6
Her time: 22:15.9

After the race I shook her hand and said good job. I told her I was just trying to keep pace with her... and she said she was trying to keep pace with me. Ha!

Since there were only 16 men and women swimming the 1500 they lumped us together. I can in 5th, out of 16.

Overall a nice swim race. They had a swim and run option as well. For such a small race, they worked hard to make it nice, which I appreciate. The beach ball awards were cute. My only complaint would be the Groupon coupon they put out about a month before the race. Next year, I won't sign up until I can get a coupon for it.
