Great job! I love race reports. Thanks so much for posting it. A 1/2 IM is my goal, and it helps a lot to read what it's really like for people like me.

I plan to swim more in Lake Michigan this year, and I have been thinking about a neoprene cap. You've convinced me! I have also heard of neoprene booties--ever used those?

Again, congratulations! Lise
