I made a casual observation about the current in the Muskoka River. Something like, "look you can actually see the water moving down stream a bit". My pre-race swim was great. I felt good & was aware of the current directly in front of us. Then I heard one of the Race Directors telling another racer that the current was stronger further up and to make sure you conserve energy for the top end. Oh boy, that's all i need. Anyways, live to win. My worst swim ever. I truly enjoyed the day and the race. the bike course was hilly and many found it to be harder than they had expected. I'm hoping the Race Directors leave the race just the way it is as it could become known as one of the hardest Half Ironmans around. Great job everyone!
