Comments:

Straight swim, so no corners. Able to sight along bridge with every breath to the left. About 2 foot swells the whole way directly head on. Really tough. No waves to catch as we swam straight into them. Just concentrated on stretching out the stroke and cruising.

Event comments:

Great aid station at end with huckleberry ice cream, blueberries, coffee, tea, water, cookies, etc. Tons of fun.

Great swim.

Ice cream at the end sounds like a nice touch.
