Win some... lose some :(

What a fiasco! Still feeling bad about it, but also have a new goal now. Need to work on the swimming bit! So the story is that I had to pull out of the kirkland triathlon because I couldnt finish the swimming leg! Lake Washington seemed threatening in choppy, billowing waters; the mental part of not having any support got to me; and the advice of a lifeguard - to pull out - hit hard. I basically need to learn to swim properly.
Had been scared of the waters all the way, but today's experience teaches me to check my basics first. So, next year. Gotta wash the memories of this failure off. Well, Congrats to Kintan, Abhijat and Mitika who did finish it!! That's one good thing :)
