I finished in 38 minutes 6 seconds.
Zak was 2 1/2 lengths ahead of me by the end!
The 38 minutes was my best time.
In the beginning Zak raced out ahead of me (like I expected). He swam the first lap and a half pretty quick; then felt tired and a little worried. So he started swimming out freestyle, then back elementary backstroke. His backstroke was his resting stroke.
I was not worried. I thought he would tire out and I would be the "turtle" coming in to finish the winner! Zak never tired. He did great. I thought it was a great experiment. I guess it really does mean something to be 17!
Here are a few pictures, taken by dad...
Here I am coming for one of my 32 laps
Going out...again
Kylie keeping the official record!
(By the way, Mitch Michaelis {remember him?} was the life guard on duty.)
There Zak is in front and if you look way back on the lane to the left, I am there.
me fixing my goggles...they constantly filled with water! I guess I was nervous.
Here you can see Zak coming to Kylie doing his back stroke, I am swimming farther away.

The finish
Kylie's payment for officiating: Ice cream at Rite Aid. It really is the best.

You must change this race to 6 miles because you are in great condition.
I don't think you will fare well at the 3 mile distance
