A tad windy but warm water since it was hot yesterday. 38xx was the fastest I have done on this course so a decent day. Just disappointed I did nt have the top gear to pull ahead for the win. Even at 2nd I got a case of muscle milk a glass, and goggles. So for $40- well worth the drive.

My wife competed in the 1500m while I tended to the kids.   Beautiful setting, but I couldn't believe the wind -- the lake was choppier than my ocean swim in Vancouver!

We stuck around to watch the 3000m finish -- wanted to see the infamous simpsonbo at work!  Well done, I know you were hoping for the win, but it was pretty close to the end.
