1st Open Water Swim of the season

I'm not sure what the temp of the water was, but I was OK in my wetsuit.  Wind was still sustained at about 20 mph, but I enjoyed the hour swim.  I found it really easy to spot where I was going, which I was surprised with after being in the pool all winter.  Neal and I swam while other NoNamers ran.  I wasn't up to running first with the way the wind was blowing.  I was still in the water when they got back and swam a few laps with them then I got out and kept a watchful eye on everyone.  After the swim brought our favorite thing about Triathlon: T3 at Fuzzy's Tacos.  Today the Migas was especially tasty.  I guess the swim was harder than I thought.  By the time I got home all I wanted was a nap and amazingly I was able to get one in even though the final round of the Masters was on.  I hit the record button and dozed off.  After I awoke I drank a little Gatorade and headed out for my hour TP run.  The wind had died down some, but it was still warm and today's Migas wasn't sitting well.  I think I was dehydrated because my HR was high from the get go.  I just kept the run slow and got through.  It was a good day to be a Triathlete!
