That's awesome.

I can't imagine how funny it would have been if I had ever done an OW swim!

That video ALWAYS kills me. I'm surely going to get a boot or 2 to the face Sunday. Just wakes you up a bit, and makes you want to go faster to kick that a-hole in the face...

put your goggles on, then your swim cap. That way, when you get kicked in the face, the goggles stay on.

First time I've seen that video, funny. Reminds me of two or three years ago starting in a pack and getting kicked in the face so hard that my nose was bleeding. Guys on the safety boat came over to pull me out, figured there was no way I was going to swim with it gushing. Finished that swim with my worst time ever, even though conditions were perfect. I just couldn't get my timing right.
