The 19th anniversary of my first Santa Cruz triathlon. Weather was gray, and the swim was supposed to be 1/2 mile. But it seems to have been measured without the out and in legs and so, in fact, it was quite a bit longer. But I felt good out there and swam well. I cheered in the rest of the swimmers and then took some pics as the rest of the local gang was off to some good races.
