The weather was beautiful, but the water conditions were pretty rough this morning. My time was a little slower, and my AG place (4th, maybe? In 10-year AG) was not quite what I hoped for, but dudes, I still did a 5k open water swim in my third trimester! Woot!

Walking out to in-water start:

Just after start. Rough freaking water.

Coming in for our tandem 30-39 and -10-0 AG finish

DONE.

Calvin told me several kayaks swamped in the chop. Oops. Poor volunteers, it was a long morning to be fighting the wind. I honestly have never raced in such rough water, with only actual swells in the ocean as a possible exception.

Below the surface it was beautiful though! You know how near the last buoy on the course before the finish (or loop, depending on your course) there's kind of a shelf and the bottom comes out of nowhere? There were tons of fish there, and I saw a dinner-plate sized turtle gliding along near the bottom maybe 10 feet below me. I swear I felt like I was snorkeling in Hawaii, I had such a clear view. So pretty.

Yay!!! That is inspiring and just plain amazing. So happy everything went well.

Did any of the officials says anything about your pregnancy? I hope you only heard positive feedback on that aspect!

Nope, that was all totally smooth and a non-issue. A bunch of other swimmers made comments, but they were all really positive and encouraging. A couple people made comments about whether I was afraid I'd go into labor (lol, no) but nothing bad!
