Folsom Lake
Margaret and I swam the .5 and 1 mile race at Lake Natoma/Folsom Lake. The water is notoriously cold! And, the race course was at a different site this year, with lots of rocks to trip on while running out of the water to the finish line.
Warm-up completed. Game faces on.
A little help with the swim cap:
Ready to get my race on!
Race course:
There was this guy who has raced lots of these open water swims, and he has a prosthetic leg that he leaves at the edge of the water, so he can slip it on really fast and run through the chute:
I cannot believe I let Bob (another Manatee) beat me in the .5 mile. All I saw out of the corner of my eye when I was exiting the water was some old guy, and because he wasn't in my age group (or the same sex) it didn't matter if I let him run through the chute before me. Dang it!
Ducks enjoying the swim:
Margaret beating some other lady into the chute:
Pumpkin muffin and lemonade - best fuel ever!
Super smiley, getting in position for the 1 mile race:
Exiting the 1 mile, and I beat Bob!
Margaret finishing her 1 mile:
Checking out the results:
We are both winners, again! I won both .5 and 1 mile, and Margaret got 2nd in both events!

Whiskey & Water

Lower Falls:
Margaret jumps!
Caroline sittin' pretty:
It took a lot of coaxing and courage to plummet into the FREEZING water:
Swimming as fast as possible to the rocks:
Sucking it all in:
Middle Falls - we weren't crazy enough to jump:
Margaret running through the chute after the 1 mile:
The race course:
Emerging from the 2 mile:
Finished!!
We are ALL winners! I won the 1 & 2 mile, Margaret got 2nd place in the 1 & 2 mile, and Caroline won 3rd in the 2 mile:
