Ok, I'm way behind but now have the time to begin catching up!
Firstly, I'll highlight my next race which is the Cedar Island "5k" swim. It really is more like an Iron distance swim of around 4,200 yards. Here is a summary of the 4 prior times I've raced this race:

I'm not in the same swim shape I was in August 22, when I was deep in my Kona prep but I hope to break 70 minutes this year and if I could get close to 65/66, I'd be thrilled.
