Hi everyone! I did an open water lake swim this weekend, and it was really fun. I even got to meet Swimmy! We had a great time. My hubby told me that they watched me swim the 2-mile event and that I was really pulling to the right. I know that my right side is my strongest side, so I am not surprised. But does anyone have any advice or tricks for swimming straight in open water? I am doing a 10K in November and I would rather not swim an extra 2K because of zig-zagging, if possible! Thanks for anything you can suggest!

Oops! I am so sorry - I think I do have you confused with someone else. :) I talked to someone who said she was from Maryland and she'd also been at the Long Course meet in Fairfax a couple weeks prior. She was actually going to a meet after the lake swim, which impressed me greatly because I don't think I could have done both!
I am so bad with names...ugh. I think you and I are in the same age group so I just assumed it was you that I had talked to - I apologize. :)
I had a good time and I will definitely do more - Reston sounds really nice. I think the green water will take some getting used to. At least you can't see anything floating in it....
I bet you will have so much fun in Bonaire - that will be amazing! I can't wait to read how it goes...I hope you will write up something (and take lots of pictures)!
