Open Water 2,000 Meter Wetsuit Division

Saguaro Lake, Arizona

2000 meters is about 1.2 miles. I am kind of proud of the fact that I placed 1st in my division in this race. Especially since I dislocated a finger on a cement pylon during the race. Always remember that it is extremely important to lift your head occasionally and make sure you are sighting properly when you are swimming in open water. If you don't, you might embarrass yourself and swim into a pylon. Luckily for me the water was still in the 60's and my hand was cold enough not to hurt very bad. This race was put on by DCB Extreme Adventures and they ran a good event. I was also very grateful for the help that they gave me.
