Ok, the truth of the matter is that I suck timewise! But I soooo enjoyed it! Except for at the end, with about 1/4 mile to go, this woman who had already finished was cheering people on, and she looked at me and said "Hey! What's with the walking???" To which I replied, "Well, that would be the knees. I'm a walker, not a runner" Geez, couldn't she just have been positive?
The hysterical part was that my 2 girl friends who did it too, ended up being guided in on the swim by kayakers, because they kept swimming in circles...(they were back stroking). They both laughed that they swam LOTS more than 500 meters! they felt that they should hav erec'd a special award for the longest distance swum (swam?)
But the main part was that we finished and that we had fun!!!
However, I think I'm going to like training for the LA MS 150 ALOT more!:D
