Did my first open water swim of my life yesterday. What an awesome experience it was in La Jolla. Will definitely not be my last.
Stayed out deep sea fishing until 9:00 and then partaked in adult beverages unil 2:30 am. Still swam pretty well, maybe next year I will actually prepare better for it.
First competition for me since surgery a year and half ago so I am pretty pleased with my results. Check out some of the amazing swims (i.e. Mark Warkentin holding 1:00 for 1 mile race and 1:01 in the 3 mile race). If I had only known I was 5 seconds from 2nd place, maybe I would have raced better to finish.
If you have a chance to do this swim, I highly recommend it!
