A life-long (minus the 25 years I did not swim) pool sprinter (50's and 100's), I did three open water events this year (first open water races ever for me) - a 'slow' river 2K, a lake 3K and my all time favorite, the swim from Alcatraz. Really liking the open water, but in Texas open-water events are not easy to find. Think I'll try the 500 and 1600 free in a pool this year and maybe the 200 *** (unless, of course, I can get to an open-water event that is the same day). Also thinking of making Alcatraz a yearly event. :fish2:
