Day 3 @ The Morning Practice Swim

TYR — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 18:17:20 +0000

The sun came out early today at the practice swim, and so did the crowd. It was much busier today at the practice swim with thousands headed for that last buoy on the course.

TYR was out again giving away product and answering questions. There was a lot of praise for the Sayonara Swimskin amongst those who swam in it.
