RR...we swam in poo...

I was thinking about your description of the pond on my swim today. So glad I was not swimming in goo.

Those are some awesome times. Are you planning on a permanent defection to roadie tris?

Curious where this was... did an open water swim in Jersey and came out looking like I was several shades darker. Yuck. Glad it didn't affect your race!

V,
I am currently enjoying my race schedule. I am racing for a sponsored mt bike team and doing the road tri's between mt bike races. In fact I had different long term plans for next summer, but I am having so much fun with this schedule, I might just do it again next year.

I think I might an olympic distance race to the schedule for next year. I already know I can do this distance. I did it off road at xterra nationals, but I would like to see how fast I can do an olympic which would require some training.

The nice thing is, that all of these sprint races are close to home. Within an hour. I am so sick of driving 300 miles each way to race.

So a partial defection to the world of roadies.....If you all will have me

With times like that we'd be PROUD to have ya! Course you'll kick our butts, but we'd still take ya! That looks like a great job. Way to go. Despite the slime, primordial goo. UGh. That is disgusting.

I rowed a crew race in a "lake" like that once... it was a waterfowl protection site outside of Vancouver, BC (Burnaby?). And all the goo had to have been goose and duck poop. The docks were covered with it and the water brown/green. The open four dumped their boat somehow -- ohh... what a nightmare. No showers, either! They all got to sit alone, together, on the way home.

Great job, RNR! Speedy, indeed. That goo, OMG - I have a new appreciation for our local lakes!

[btchance]

Awesome job out there!! I can't imagine swimming through that junk. I might not have gotten in

That swim sounds disgusting. Are you sure you didn't crawl across the top of it? Yuck. Those are some excellent times. I'm glad I'm not in your age group.
