Where: Benbrook Lake
PlayTri put this race on this year for the first time. It was supposed to be a 500m open water swim, then a 13 mile ride along the lake, then a 5k run.
I signed up for this race because it's 7 min from my house and I have never raced an open water triathlon before.
The Good: I finished and I got 1st place out of 4 under 40 Clydesdales.
The Bad: I barely finished the swim alive...I didn't have to stop and hold a Kayak or Paddleboard....but I thought about it.
I had to doggie paddle at times, roll over to my back and catch my breath....it was rough. The swim was officially changed to 700m...way too long if you ask me. For open water, I'll only do wet suit legal races.
