Under 40 minutes
There were over 500 swimmers, and at the starting line, I saw maybe three people I knew. At the finish line, I saw a lot of people I knew, and they all beat me! Hmmmmmmm, I'm thinking maybe they didn't swim and just showed up at the finish. . . . All of them, everybody I know!
Let me tell you about the girl who finished right behind me. For a long time, she was right next to me, and with every stroke, the water would open the front of her tiny red bikini bottoms and I could see all the way down the inside. Talk about distracting! (I'm not complaning) It is very difficult to swim with my head cranked over to one side the whole time! Makes it kind of hard to swim straight! (She was totally shaved, by the way!) I'm not sure whether having her next to me slowed me down or sped me up! I was staying right next to her but sped up and passed her at the very end.
After the race, they gave away random prizes but I didn't win anything. (Remember last year? I won an airline ticket!)
Then I took down all the broadcast equipment and took it back to the station. My ankle was really sore after the swim, but feels surprisingly good this morning, and I'm going diving!

Sounds like you had a good time during the swim! If you hadn't had the view you did maybe you would have finished better! haha :)
Love the picture - the water and sand look gorgeous. Yeah, I still need a vacay!
Look.at.the.water.
Hold on, I'm coming over!
