None. Very sore forearms on both arms. Felt like lactic acid buildup??

What limited your ability to perform faster:

THE WEATHER!!!!!!!!!!!

Event comments:

Both races shortened because of high surf and dangerous rip.Wx was a bitch!!! Almost drowned on the way in and had to breast stroke to calm down. Was ok on way out, but was swamped by 2 consecutive waves on the last leg. Sucked down a lot of water and was very anxious. Contemplated pulling out but rescue boats too far away so had to carry on.
