Congratulations to Megan (1:01, first woman! and fourth overall!) and James (1:05 first in age group and 22nd overall).
It was a near perfect day for the iconic Big Shoulders swim. The water was a bit but a warm sun quickly took care of the post race chill. It's quite a sight to see all those swimmers in the water right next to huge skyscrapers.
This morning I went out for a run, and as I sometimes do, I ended at Big Bay so I could cool down in the water. I walked down the path to the water where a lady was playing with her two dogs, when suddenly one dog runs up and bites my foot. Hard! Luckily my shoe protected me enough that the skin didn't break. Anyhow,the water is still pretty warm (high sixties?), so it should be a good swim at 6PM.

Congrats all BS and IM racers!
This morning's crew was Speed, Kahuna, Diablo and myself. Clearest, flattest water I have swam in this summer. Temp was around 65.
Is the dog OK?
This morning was amazing. As Kahuna said: "Can't beat conditions like these...Argh!!!! Also in the water this morning was Steve.
I forgot Steve! Argh! Sorry Steve...
Diablo, why are you calling Cap'n a dog?
Patriarch,why are you saying Cap'n has a foot fetish?
Well... the cap's is a Sea Dog... but, why did he bite your foot?? TMI
