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.

it always occurs when I'm coming off the wall on my flip turn. Has anyone out there had similar problems?
That's exactly what happens to me, too. No good advice other than the usual drink lots of water before the swim.
It's amazing how hard it is to swim with a calf cramp, not just in pushing off the wall, but in the middle of the pool, too.
Good luck!
