He always encouraged people of all ages to eat right and exercise. “remember, it’s never too late” he said “It’s a lifestyle, it’s something you do for the rest of your life”. People always talk about him before doing the Alcatraz swim. We new we could do it because he did it pulling all those boats behind him. Effective January 1, 2011. There are now two categories for open water swimwear: Category I is required for all Open Water National Championships and shall be scored separately from Category II, whether in a National Championship event or not.

Kami, Mike, Charlie, Anna What we thought was going to be a hot day in hot water turned out to be a warm day in warm water. After all the hot dry weather we have been having we were lucky that a rain storm rolled into Virginia for the race Friday night cooling off the water and making things much more pleasant then expected. The Virginia Masters Swim Team did a great job running the meet that saw several National Records broken including a 39 year old guy that broke 40 min! The Race course was a 1/4 mile cable between two posts. We had to swim 8 lengths. It was fun as you could see everyone racing by you on the other side of the cable including the guy that broke 40 min. He sprinted the entire way! The faster racers did a lot of running over of other racers as we lapped some of them a few times. (Word of advise if your going a little slower then average.. Keep to the right a little…) My daughter Katharyn took some great actions shots of the race. Things are looking tough for this race as the water temperature is expected to be around 87 degrees at race time for the Chris Greene Swim. I have been seeking advice from other experienced open water swimmers regarding swimming in warm water. Drink a lot of water all week prior and all morning of the race. If you can put a little electrolytes in your drink you will be better off. Make sure you have lots of said water to drink when you get out! Take a luke warm shower and get all that funk out of your ears and other places… Know your pace in advance and listen to your body during the race. Be mindful of your heart rate. |
