Has anyone done this race before? This is my second race and first Open water swim. I have been told that a good plan on OWS is to have something to wash off the sand. Will this be needed here? any ideas other than amn oversized food storage container?

sorry i didn't see this post earlier.
i've never done an OWS either, but i've got a couple local tris under my belt. i'm nervous for the swim. i wonder how crazy of a start it will be with 57 other guys thrashing in the water. could be interesting.
i probably won't worry about the sand. or maybe i'll try to get a little of it off with my towel in the transition area.

There's a little bit of sand, and a long run from the swim area to the transition area. I'd put an extra water bottle in your stuff to wash off your feet.
