This is my first ever triathlon, let alone a 70.3. Super excited but very nervous as well! Hoping it is wetsuit legal (although I'll probably swim with it anyways given there's no way I'll be getting age group awards ;)
Any tips/tricks for this course specifically, or advice for a first timer? I swam competitively in middle school and part of high school, and was suprised at how quickly distance swimming came back to me in training, but live in Chicago so there has been no opportunity for open water swimming yet. I'll be getting in Thursday night so planning on a practice swim out there on Friday. Fingers crossed!!
