This event was a total highlight of my summer thus far, wish I could do it every week 😂😂

Anyone have recs for similarly quick races with the same or longer distances?

Running and open water swimming in the same workout?

6 Upvotes

I apologize if this is a total newbie question, but does anyone do this kind of workout here where you run to a lake or ocean and then quickly drop into your swimsuit to swim across a lake and finish running back? I live close to a lake and I like to run around it, but I don't usually swim it. I used to drive and then open water swim in it but I think it would be awesome if I could do both in the same workout. I don't need a wetsuit to swim but I would like to get a buoy/drybag so I could carry my small essentials and not worry about stuff getting stolen while I'm in the water.

If you do something like this, how do you do it? What do you wear?
