As many of you might have guessed, I am a huge proponent of open water swimming and open water events.
American Swimming Association, Austin, TX, recently hosted their 9th Annual Lake Travis Relays. Can it really be the ninth swim already? Time flies...

I also swam this event, although I was not in the top 5 teams. I enjoyed the water conditions personally but I heard from others and from one of the organizers that conditions were rougher this year than the usual. I thought it was just a day on the lake so I was surprised to hear the water characterized as 'choppy' and rough. Thoughts from other participants?
