I did a 41-mile relay swim as part of a four-person team composed of active duty military who are also mostly USMS members. We swam around the island of Jersey in the English Channel.
Holy Cow! Most impressive!

Swam my first 9,000 on 08/25/12, not going to repeat that anytime soon. That wiped me out. The Lifeguards were encouraging me to do another 1,000 to make it an even 10,000. I'll try for the 10,000 for my New Year's Day swim in 2013.Bill - why are we doing this to ourselves? I do very similarly - I frequently will do 10,000 in two workouts on NYEve - and the majority of my workouts are 4500-5000 yards/meters. The longest thing I race is the 500!! Well ok, once I did the 800. Seriously, I'm not sure why I like to go such distances, but I seriously do! You sound like you have a lot of time on the weekends to do what you like!
