Lake Harriet 1 Mile Swim

Now I'm 2 for 2 this year. I competed in my second race of the season this morning. This time it was a 1 mile open water swim at Lake Harriet in Minneapolis. This race is a bit different as it attracts some very good swimmers. I'm a pretty good swimmer when compared to other triathletes but when I go up against real swimmers I tend to fall into the middle of the pack. That happened again today (I think I got about 20 place out of about 35) but as luck would have it I ended up winning my age group! Here are a couple of photos of my trophy ;-

I'll have to put this up next to my crushed pingpong ball trophy from a few years ago.
