Pirate Pay Day

Finished 2nd overall and first in my age group at the Pirates Regatta in Mears, earning a $50 purse. My time was pretty slow, though, at 18:18.5. It was really muggy this morning and I struggled to catch my breath over the last mile. Splits were 5:39, 5:55, and then my last one must have been around 6:15. I really died the last mile. The puke was in my throat. I don't do well in the humidity, and the layoff no doubt hurt me.
