Seriously, kacie- you are amazing!!!
That sounds so hard- and yet so much fun. I have never swam farther than an IM distance swim (during an IM) and my time was 1:40. You swam TWICE that far in only 35 more minutes. AMAZING!!! What is your normal IM swim time? I'm really impressed!!!!

So did the current ever kick in to help you out at all?

Great RR, great job, and major kudos to you!!!
