Thanks, skibum, for the great report! I'm planning to do this race next year, and it helps so much to visualize it before hand. Sounds like we're similar--I don't mind diving, but I'm not a really strong swimmer. Perhaps I'll follow the training plan this winter and become a stronger swimmer!
I'm feeling more and more excited about doing this race in ... 11 months and three weeks!

Hey Skibum! Glad to hear your success story! I'm still on somewhat of a high from the whole event. Even now I am quickly forgetting the tough parts. My BF and I (he also did the race) visited Tiscornia Park on Sunday mid-morning before heading out of town. Hard to believe 24hrs earlier there was so much activity there. The lake was still smooth as glass but almost crystal clear. It was good to say goodby in that fashion.
Congrats again and good luck in whatever events you may have next! I will probably do another Midwestern half IM - Racine next summer. I hear it is flat and fast.
