It's in our blood, after all, I won the girl's Danvers River swim when I was 9 (or something) and was third overall in a group of 20 (or so).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850008492557142131.post-87462030095898733932010-05-13T12:50:02.887-07:002010-05-13T12:50:02.887-07:00Let's hope the current is flowing strongly at ...Let's hope the current is flowing strongly at your back!!! Good luck with the race and I can't wait to read the RR on Sunday night while I am covered in ice packs!<br /><br />I'm in the same boat this weekend. The HIM is too far away to do the red-eye drive so it is a cheap hotel stay (very cheap -- using my Marriott Points). My problem is also my poor swim and it is becoming more apparent at the longer distances. I am top 25-33% AG on the bike and usually top 10% on the run. The swim is usually solid BOP. This may have to be the summer of joining a Master's swim program!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061773215250783439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850008492557142131.post-67977420362331263562010-05-13T05:41:25.948-07:002010-05-13T05:41:25.948-07:00You can't win the race on the swim, but you ca...You can't win the race on the swim, but you can lose it there, or so they say. Sounds like an ambitious but toally doable plan.

I once tied a bandanna to the end of the rack my bike was in, it made finding it easier. Have fun and good luck! BTW I am a size small...Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13061231036755945077noreply@blogger.com
