Apologies in advance to anyone who does not live in my geographical area. I know that some geographical areas do not have the opportunites that I have in my geographical area.
Do I swim too much?
Aside from normal workouts I have participated in quite a number of swim meets/events in the last rolloing 12 months.
Long Beach - SCM
Mission Viejo - SCY
Santa Clarita - SCY
Pasadena (Rose Bowl) - SCY
Pasadena (CalTech) - SCY
Irvine - SCY
Woodland Hills - SCY
Los Angeles - SCY
Pasadena (Senior Games) LCM
Los Angeles - SCM
3,000 Yard Postal
Brute Challenge (Postal)
Sprint Pentathalon (Postal)
Middle Distance Pentathalon (Postal)
Iron Man Pentathalon (Postal)
One Hour Postal Swim
I Swam A Marathon (Postal)
Piers & Beers (Open Water)
Corona Del Mar (Open Water)
When I combine all these together I have completed three complete Check-Off Challenges. Not included above is Go The Distance. 2013 is the first time I have tried Open Water Swimming events.
Also not listed above are my Swim-A-Thons.
Everyone who participates on the Piers & Beers swim is transported by a British double-decker bus up and down Pacific Coast Highway before and after each pier.
"What happens on the bus, stays on the bus."I don't think you're swimming too much, Bill. I think the rest of us non-Californians are jealous we don't get the opportunities to swim and race and play in the water as much as you do.
Thanks for the race tip, as well: I'm also putting this -- openwaterpedia.com/index.php -- on my bucket list of open water swims.
