One thing you can do (& I've done at one tri & one ultra) is to put a pair of socks and/or shoes into a water-tight bag. <br /><br />> "goose poop"<br /><br />I've heard about that too.

In straight up open water races, people will totally swim over you so a lot of swimmers think nothing of it.

I am sad that there was no goose poop layer on the lake, I mean I've been looking forward to that ALL summer.<br /><br />I think your tri was way harder than my puny 10 mile run today, so you are even more prepared for 50 miles. :)Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01506087947077839388noreply@blogger.com
