Subject: RE: Lake Padden tri - swim to bike transition question Okaaaay... I discovered the rocks in the lake when I was at the lake a few weeks ago. (Someone should wade in there and pick out the rocks and use them to build a rock castle a long, long way from the swim entrance/exit area! ) He, he... Lance says to swim until your hand touches the bottom when returning to the shore. So the problem is actually the swim start, as the water is shallow, so you have to walk a ways before you can swim without diving into the ground! Guess I'm paranoid, because when I was a child, I was wading barefoot in a lake and stepped on something sharp (my parents thought it was a piece of glass ), that gave me a nasty cut to the bottom of my foot--that actually left a scar! |
