2017 Hour Swim

Anyone else doing a last week hour ePostal? Made 5005 metres (SCM) , conversion is 5470Y. ] That ought to be good for the win...unless you are in the 50-54 age group (Erwin, Shaffer, and others have been tearing that event up for decades)...congrats. I was considerably short of that but was hampered by doing mine in a glorified jacuzzi.:)

My lane rental cost more than the FINA submission fees. I rented 1 lane for 90 mintues to ensure a quality environment. My gut says my swim will be #1 in 40-44 unless Sean Justice throws down :) Well, I found a pool 150 miles away that was colder than mine, obtained a hotel, only to find out it was closed for maintenance the following day. I ended up doing it later that afternoon in a (hot) pool less than a mile from my house. I'm insane! Sadly, I think they changed the rules and I am bumped up to the 50-54 (prematurely I must say). Justice, as far as I know, does one USMS meet per year (Ron Johnson meet at ASU) so little chance of him doing a postal (but perhaps you've inspired him--number one rule of postals: never call out anybody before entries close....ha!). As far as I know, he trains with and goes to USA meets (not sure if that's apathy towards USMS, pride, or compassion on us mortals).

I did it a couple weeks ago, but I have no one willing to sit for an hour and clock me. I took the splits off of my Swimovate watch. My dad did me a solid and timed me and took splits. I think 5500 would have been realistic if I had swam in a yards pool and had the extra 20 flip turns. Not an option in Canada. My lane rental cost more than the FINA submission fees. I rented 1 lane for 90 mintues to ensure a quality environment. Still waiting on FINA for their 2016 Top 10s. Should be in 35-39 8Free/2Fly in SCM. My gut says my swim will be #1 in 40-44 unless Sean Justice throws down :)

oh my goodness. I am nowhere close. But it's all for fun! 11000

Same 2 names came up on another forum. Fast is fast. Respect to those gentlemen ...

I am thinking of going down to AZ for that SCM meet.

Last time I raced at ASU was Jan 95 and it was SCM AZ Sr Circuit. Swam the 800 beside Jeff Rouse when he swam with PSC.

Six people from my Masters group did it last week. I did 2500 which is hardly competitive but is a PR for me. This time last year I couldn't even swim that far. None of our swimmers who are actually competitive even did it.

I'm the only one from my masters group that did it. I did it Saturday. 2925 yards. I'm looking forward to seeing how I ranked (near the bottom, I know) AND getting the swim cap.
