Loved this race. Great conditions. The water was warmer than I&amp;#39;m used too since I train in our cold Utah mountain reservouirs. 70 degree water is a warm day for me. Race was well planned out, no guess work at all. I would also tell everyone to plan on this race next year. Well worth the 6 hour drive for me.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Slam the Dam.....Vegas</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/270884?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 15 Oct 2012 16:28:27 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:481597fd-dc0d-4f16-9724-db319869963c</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><description>the venue is wonderful at the Las Vegas swim and I recommend the swim as a destination event.
