“I think the appeal is the community,” Morgan Williams, 48, said. “It’s a nice group out here. I like seeing the natural aspects of it. When I swim in the ocean, I see starfish, and sea anemones and seals, and it’s a great way to participate in nature, even on cloudy days. … You see a lot of beautiful things in the water. There’s some areas around here where there’s petrified trees and different grasses and stuff like that, like cloud formations when you breathe… It’s a cool way, too, you know, to get into phone number list nature. I think that’s probably the big thing, that’s the biggest draw for me.”
One entrant noted the importance of being prepared.
“This was my shakedown swim,” triathlete Sauerteig said. “And I was in the water and realized I didn’t have my goggles. Ran up and got those. Got back out there in the water. Started swimming, realized I forgot the wax for my ears. That makes a huge difference. Finished the course. Running out and up the little runway here. Realized, ‘Oh, that’s what’s wrong. I had my suit on backwards.’ First sign that something was not quite right was when I was going in the water and I couldn’t put my strap where I normally put it. That should have been the key. Oh my gosh, it still worked. I still survived.”
