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.)
Mine was Big Shoulders in 2005... I'd been training for a triathlon and ended up injuring my ankle so I couldn't do the race. I didn't want all that training to go to waste so I came to the USMS site to look for a postal. Five years and a lot of open water miles later I'm so glad I have weak ankles.
