Planning to go again this year...I love this trip and this swim is awesome! You won't regret Bermuda when October comes around. ...:applaud:and Randy Rocks!
Randy does rock! I hope to grow up and be more like Randy someday:applaud:
I love this event. Not only is it held in Bermuda, with some of the world's most beautiful beaches, great weather, and lovely people, but it is also one of the most interesting races out there. The nature of the course means it is never boring--those who have experience open water definitely have an edge. Randy also runs very fun training swims on the island on the days leading up to the race, so the whole thing feels like one big happy swim vacation. I can't wait to go back, and bring my friends!
