4/5 🧵 The most haunting part of the piece is the volunteer account. A race volunteer described the panic of witnesses saying she went under “right here,” and one experienced racer was left clinging to a kayak in shock after watching her disappear. The volunteer said he dove repeatedly trying to find her, even feeling her body once with his foot, but couldn’t bring her up in time. That detail wrecks the usual sanitized race-report tone.
