Austin Triathletes' Open Water Swim 2008

The bad news -- as bad as "bad" can be on a cooler day than of late, overcast, on a non-workday morning, surrounded by fellow swimmer friends -- is that my time was woefully below what I had wanted/assumed.

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, I had a great swim. I actually liked the water temps, despite grumblings

Don't know for what I should give you a harder time:
The fact that you not only drafted behind a woman and knowingly kept hitting her toes, but also knew you were faster.
...or...
The fact that you are whining about not being able to swim with a wetsuit.

Please turn in your man-card, ya wuss.

P.S. On a side note, I think it's BS that a Professional/Elite swimmer won the female division, and therefore the swim suit. That's weak. Just my opinion!

Heehee, but the man-card arbitrators are ok with me shaving everything except my eyebrows not covered by my Speedo?

don't get me started on all the things your kind (of men) shave.
Wait! perfect! off to post a new reason on my blog. Wiley
