Did my first 10km

Those GU gels made a huge difference for me swimming. Used it during my Ironman, it’s crazy the burst of energy you get.

Finished 10km in 3:12.

I give kudos to all swimmers out there, keep it up.

I did my first 2KM open water too last month and i got first-place in my age-group!!

a you reffering to Welland Ont?

Yeah. The course is my absolute favourite. Temperature of water was 21 degrees. There is a bit of cheating in this course since the string that holds the buoys create a perimeter around the course. So technically, you don’t actually have to see where your going every few strokes.

Shhh. I was scheduled for 5km, but I got dizzy and a cramp and pulled myself out at 2.5km

Awesome. Open water or pool?
