![]() ![]() Once I found the ramp and swam up to it, things slowed down (as they do for everyone ), as I had to find the retaining wall and step over it before I had solid footing and could walk up the ramp. I kept thinking I was going past the dock and ramp (the sun was in our eyes so I did not have good vision ), and when I pulled up once to sight, a kayak immediately told me I had a little more to go. The last 50-100 meters seemed to take forever. A little adjustment here and there was all the was needed - no major corrections as I find are common with me. While the Den Mother is playing her attack animation, you can briefly attack to chip away at her health, then get ready to dodge again. To defeat her, you have to keep your distance and dodge her dash attacks at the last second. Bottle water will be available at run out CLICK HERE for water temp. The Den Mother is a tanky and quick melee boss that can shred your health in seconds. COURSE Swim 750m (1 loop) or 1500m (2 loops) Rolling start Run 5km Please note there is no water stations on the run course. Again, my sighting was better than normal, although on the second loop I did start to leak right, as is common with my swim stroke. Splash & Dash begins and ends at the Special Event Ramp, on the north side of the lake between Mill and Rural. Whether you choose to splash or dash, your support is making a difference for the more than 215,000 kids who need care at Norton Childrens facilities each year. Getting to the first turn on the 2nd loop felt longer, and when I was back on the long east-bound leg I almost took the mid-point buoy for the turn buoy, until I was upon it and realized where I was. Join us this year to splash, dash, walk or run in support of Norton Childrens Hospital Choose a designated 1K or 5K distance with a scenic view of E.P. I felt my sighting was going well as I had clear vision of the buoys all the way and never found myself off course as has happened in the past.Īs I completed the first loop I think I slowed down, as the second loop things felt like they took longer. and ran the 5K run course before the race as a warm up and to build to my 10K run distance for training. I made the turn with no problems and then the 2nd turn to get to the long leg east. I stayed on the inside of the course as we headed west to the first turn buoy, and felt I had good form and a smooth, consistent stroke going. When the horn went off, I was back from the start buyos about 10-15 feet (by design ), and just started swimming in clear water. I used this swim as a test of a few things: 1 ) the new wetsuit, its feel and performance, 2 ) testing out my abs to see how a swim would affect them, 3 ) my sighting in Tempe Town Lake, which typically sucks (but shouldn't ), and 4 ) the water temp at the lake, in prep for the upcoming weekend's Leadman race. ![]()
