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.

I hae gotten cramps both times I have done this event. I think it has to do with how well hydrated you are when you start. At the pace you swim there is really no time to drink during the event, so you need to start drinking lots of water well in advance - the day before is good. This is especially true if your pool is warm (anything above 80 degrees.)
