She was swimming in along the buoys. I am guessing that was you. :) I tried to stay to the outside, to stay out of people's way. My freestyle is faster than my backstroke, though still not very fast. I would have done more freestyle, but I just wasn't used to having my face in the dirty brown water. I only learned to swim a year ago, so I am still working at it. I have gotten used to the pool for the most part. But TLT was my first open water swim. Gotta start somewhere. Hey, mix in a little back stroke. It's definatly nice to be able to catch your breath. :D I am doing the Louisville Ironman in 7 weeks. Hopefully I can do more freestyle there. Who knows, I might end up doing most of the 2.4 mile swim doing backstroke. LOL! Hi Sandy, there was a woman in a green cap that was swimming near the same speed I was.

You beat me doing the freestyle :) I was telling my husband, after the race, about the guy who beat me doing the backstroke:) Hey, way to go...whatever works. I might try that next time...I am so slow doing the freestyle. Loved your report, especially stopping to the store on the way back :) haha Hi, just a quick comment..i was looking for the tinman results and noticed your post on your race results, read it and was very surprised to see you were the guy I was next to who did the backstroke almost the whole way.
