An Oly? Wow!!!

That sounds like fun but I bet the swim was so short because you were already fatigued. That group swimming thing is different, isn't it. That part of it was hard for me because besides the fact I can't swim as well as I should, I'd also start getting comfortable then would have to change my style to avoid kicking or hitting someone.

Congrats! And yeah, they are addictive aren't they.

Was that your first time in Hemet? As I recall, the stop signs are larger on account of the retirees there not being able to see normal sized ones. It is nice and flat there though I think the first ride I ever did (group ride) was in Hemet way back when.
