Strong currents and waves the order of the day . Strong rip current south of the swim - I ran north up the beach to enter and flew out beyond the breakers - I was completely relaxed - awesome swim - Global trainer had me at over 1000 m so I guess I didnt swim straight :) Its a straight out and back swim - on the way in I caught a HUGE wave - rode it passed many swimmers then it fully broke and I was pushed down on the sand at the bottom of the ocean and lost my cap n goggles - ha finished the swim with no cap n goggles - I was sorta like WTF happened as I ran up the beach - Good and fast swim !!
Nice!!! Love the motivation and enthusiasm! Way to race relaxed!!!

Nice swim, mermaid girl, riding that wave like you owned it, passing all the non-swimmers! Too bad about the cap and goggles... but yknow, mermaids don't need caps and goggles!

Great job putting those surfing skills to work. When will those other folks ever learn, you can't fight the ocean. Go with the flow.

Losing the cap and goggles - that sounds tough. You show us all how it is done, how to muscle through.

Smart move running north, then diving in! Looked like a nice swim just about the point you hit the first buoy! Great speed in the chop today! Are you rolling the TYR freak suit?
