In trying to find an alternate race for the cancelled COWS race, I found this:

I haven't seen this on any of the various OW calendars.
This area is very beautiful, and should be an excellent swim. It's now on my calendar, although still looking for something the weekend of June 26.

This looks very interesting. I've been shopping for something that is a little more scenic than the typical triangular course repeated.
I may give this one a go.
I just stumbled across this am I am seriously considering committing to it for my first 5k. The date gives me enough time to build up my yardage. I will dread that early am start though.
I did one 4000 yd set last week and hope to do one more + this weekend and then take it easy next week. This willl be the furthest I've ever swam so finishing will be a victory in my life.
I'm in this one for the scenery. My training this year has been abyssmal to I just want to enjoy the ride, and this appears to be a beautiful course.
(May even have to do that with the Big Shoulders as well.)
We pull out tomorrow morning.
I make it my custom to enjoy a brew as soon as I can after finishing any open water swims. I shall endeavor to have some on hand.
