Ten. It’s the last heat of the day in the Wildflower Triathlon. Nine. It’s the Olympic Distance Relay Race. Eight. We have been standing around here on Lynch Ramp on the south shore of Lake San Antonio for over an hour waiting to begin. Seven.

It’s sure getting hot out here. Four. I hope I’m ready for this 1.5 kilometer (.93 mile) swim. Three.
