1 hour postal swim

Has anyone completed the 1 hour postal swim yet? If so, how did you do? I missed 5,000 yards by 4 yards! So officially, since we have to "round down" I got 4995 yards. BTW I am a 51 year old guy. What's weird to me is that I swam much better (well, 60 yards better) than last year, when I felt I was in significantly better shape. I also didn't get nearly as tired this year as last year.

  • My coach is encouraging all of us to participate in the hour swim this year. I did this event a few years ago and it was the LONGEST hour of my life and the thought of doing it again makes me cringe. How do people deal with the ennui? I have a hard enough time doing repeat 500's. Maybe I just have a short attention span. Any suggestions? -GG
