Here's the "before" picture - it's easy to tell - look closely, we're still smiling

Bill starting off on the bike - he came out of the water leading his age group - and having passed an insane number of people - you don't want to race him in the water - i will always remember this swim and Bill - because he promised the day before that he wouldn't run me over when he caught me (his group started 3 minutes after mine and he finished probably 2-3 minutes ahead of me) - well, sure enough, the dolphin swam right over me - i loved it though - once you get into it, swimming through/over folks is part of the game/fun |
