Night before my first open swim!

So, when asked today if I've been in the open water yet with my triathlon, my response was no. my first freak out in my wetsuit will be tomorrow morning, while I'm doing my first open swim DURING AN EVENT! I'm not the smartest person in the world when it comes to these things. Unluckily I'm injured, luckily I was able to switch from the Half Ironman to the Sprint (big drop) but it was that or not do it at all. I contemplated doing the Olympic but the advantage for me of doing the Sprint, much shorter swim! Since this is my first open swim, means much less panic!

My baby is checked in and ready to go. I shined her up a bit before I left today (she's number 1015 and her name is Pearl!)

I'm looking forward to the race, its a tough sprint then I've done before (tough due to the open swim and Spanish Banks hill) but I'm really looking forward to it! I'll take it easy because of my injury (right now I say that, who knows what'll happen tomorrow morning!) and I look forward to attempting a finish of 1 hour 45-50 minutes!
