Big Day

I ran in the Race to the Taste fun run this morning (6km).  I did better than I thought I would and finished 2nd female. My plan all along was to do the fun run and then follow up with the pier swim, 90 minutes later.  It was a 1.2km swim around the Docks area near Salamanca Place.  I entered the swim before I could change my mind (and before I looked at the murky water).

It wasn’t too cold with a wetsuit, the water just tasted like petroleum.  I was pretty tired- I swam ok (although in more of a zig-zag pattern than a straight line apparently).  It was two laps of a rectangular pattern.  The big yellow buoys just didn’t seem to get any closer!
