I must have been stuck in a pack because I was constantly getting swam over and I felt like I was swimming over and hitting other people the entire time. ⁣ ⁣ I came out of the water in 19th and knew I had to make up some serious ground on the paddle. Well bless up ya girl can kayak! #thanksmomanddad ⁣ I constantly was picking people off and with every person I passed I gained more energy and paddled harder. When we were about 50m from shore we were instruction to ditch our kayak and swim to shore. I was in a tight race with Haley and dove off the front of my boat and swam for my life. Upon watching the video, my boat almost throttled the guy in the water who’s job was to move the boats out of the way for the next athlete coming through #whoopsie ⁣ ⁣ Ended up 4th in the event 80% pleased and overall really enjoyed the event! ⁣Next year I’ll try to not swallow the water πŸ™‹πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ β£πŸ“· furyphotography #crossfit #crossfitgames #event1 #swim #paddle #swimming #boats #lakeswim #kayak #race #water #swimpaddle #crossfitgirls #fitness ## Stats - **Views:** 0 - **Likes:** 2,067 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 32 ## Credits No public credits are recorded here.
