Deep Six to Base: Deploy Vinciquerra Posted by Hello

5 Days, that is, until my first triathlon. This past weekend was quite an important step, as I took my new wetsuit to Saturday's race course for an open-water swim. Despite the many perks of zipping through the water in a wetsuit, like the added buoyancy, the extra-long glide and the warmth, there still remains a little bit of a fear factor. As I focused my attention to all the little lake dwellers swimming beneath me, sun-lit rocks and plants soon gave way to dark shadows and ultimately pitch black depths. Freaky.

Now, all I need to do is imagine over 100 other people splashing around, bumping, pushing and climbing over me to visualize what it will be like at 9:00 Saturday morning.
