Blue Lake Triathlon

Here are some pictures from the Blue Lake Triathlon, which was my first open water swim.  It's definitely harder than a pool!

Also, much needed:  Real Wetsuit.  My Quiksilver surfing wetsuit won't cut it for triathlons.

Results:  66th of 483.  7th for age.  Swim 16:24, Bike 35:40, Run 20:43.  Total 1:17:43.

I wasn't super happy with my results, but it was my first open swim and I did not think it would be that different than the pool training I'd been doing.
