Rick Fitzgerald – Jim McDonnell 1 Mile Swim – Sunday, May 29, 2016

Sunny race morning. Water temperature was taken 1 hour before the 1 Mile Race and was just barely legal for wetsuit competition at 77 degrees. This was amazing since one week earlier, the temp was 64 degrees. The swim was great and well run. Swim waves consisted of about 20 people each. I like this swim for the purpose of getting some open water time, in advance of half IM races. I am not a swimmer, so any time in the neighborhood of the “real” swimmers is a bonus for me. The post race food was good and included sandwich wraps and breakfast burritos, in addition to the traditional fruit and gatorade. This is a fun Memorial Day weekend event, which I plan to do again in the future. I was home in time to go to church with the family. Great Sunday!
