I feel your pain about the water being low. I did a tri a few years back during a drought and we had to walk for 4 min (that's how long it took me) through the mud to get to shore. By the time I made it, all the water had drained out of my wetsuit and it suction cupped to my skin and it took 3 people to get it off. Awesome!
I am swimming and biking much faster these days... last night I was riding as hard and as fast as I could because I knew the rain was on its way. The temp dropped 25 degrees over an hour from 100-75. I was shocked when I looked at the milage of around 17 miles in 58 min (when hubby came and got me because it started lightning!

Last sunday I did an open water practice swim and thought I was going slow...but in the end did my 750m in around 22 min (much better then my 35 at my first open water swim!)
Slowly but surely things are getting better... I hit a plateau with the weight loss...due to the weather and not working out - even gained a few....but hve now lost that and a little more again. 37lbs...98 to go!
