Big Acorn, Oct. 5

I just signed up for my first mini-triathlon! I'm really excited. It's a lake swim in Oct. which under normal circumstances would be a bit cold, but Lake Anna, where the race takes place, is heated by a power plant. I think the run and the bike ride will be fairly easy but the swimming might be tough. I've never competed in an open water swim but those who have say you can expect to get kicked in the head, etc. Aside from that, I'm looking forward to it.
