This was the most difficult part of the race. One, it was cold water. Two, it was open water. The swim was just north of the dam in Parker, AZ so we had to deal with the current in the river. The long-distance swimmers had the advantage of swimming downstream, however the sprint-distance swimmers (my group) had to go across the river and back. Towards the end of the 600 meters I had definitely drifted further downstream than I needed to be and had to swim hard to get back on track.
Exhaustion, and elation.
