I was just curious about everyone's "first time". When/where did you take that first plunge into open water??
(I did a search to see if a thread like this had been done and came up empty.)
A 3K swim at Miami Whitewater Forrest here in the Cincinnati area. June 2007. Unfortunately, that event was a one and done because it was great. Placed 3rd in the Men's and haven't swum a 3K as fast since. (I think that course might have been shorter, though. I had a horrible line and didn't swim hard until the last 700 yards or so.)
Whatever it was, I was hooked on both open water swimming and having a beer as soon as possible after the race.
