Anyone going to Heron Lake tomorrow?
My first tri is a week saturday and so far, I've put my wetsuit on once and not even got in the water with it yet.
I'm a pretty competent swimmer in a pool but this will be my first open water swim so a friendly forum face would be good to see!!

To be honest, after the first few minutes I thought "I can't do this" not helped by having my goggles on upside down and full of water, but after 20mins I was loving it. My feet were freezing got a few kicks and whacks, swallowed a fair amount of water but can't wait to get back in OW again.
You'll love it!
Go on the training day and you'll learn how to get out of it in 20 seconds. [:D]
LOL - good luck for your race mate.
PS - anyone going to heron on Sunday - I fancy my 1st open water swim ( bit nervous) and need to have a dip in the new wetsuit
Kinda want to do it with someone - won't last very long, won't be fast and will probably freeze my nuts (and head and hands and feet) off very quickly so just want to get a feeling for what it's like.
Any takers ? ?
Got anything distinctive that I might recognise?
Unfortunately I cant go to the training days as I'm working on the 17th and then I'm doing some stupidly long distance bike ride on the 21st June. I blame Conehead!!!
Has anyone else noticed how wetsuit bootie things just fill up with water and are just plain warm....no wait was that water..........
