Unpleasant

At practice last night Barb provided some additional info about the Bay Swim, specifically the finish. You can smell diesel and hear the traffic on the bridge. The water is mucky. You're TIRED. She recommends mentally preparing for this aspect of the swim, but quickly added that by the time you're there, you're almost done.

Barb also talked about being mentally prepared for how to navigate/attack the currents. Beyond being physically in shape, this race requires mental preparation as well.
