Just wanted to publicly acknowledge Mr Jansen's participation (and 2nd place finish) at this years' 8 mile Boston Light Swim. Great job! How did you find this swim compared to others you've done?

Having done "the Light" many times I could have warned you about the boat situation. I think it has taken years off my HUSBAND'S life (watching me scramble 12 hours pre-race, or in the case of my most recent adventure one hour pre-start- yes, we have a boat, oops we actually don't have a boat - get so and so out of bed...we saw him-the boat driver- at the bar last night...and so forth.) It's part of the drama of the race! In fact, the organizer called me the day before this year's and invited me to the dinner and casually mentioned that he had some extra boats, if I was interested - my husband said we've heard THAT before (I always will have a sentimental attachment to that swim so probably will do it again soon, but had just done a 14 mi lake workout Friday, but otherwise we'd have met in person Leonard.) It does seem like the end will NEVER come, doesn't it- that marina just SITS there! Are you dreaming about the Prudential building still? That's one of the best reference points ever. I don't know that there is a more interesting course out there - of course I have limited range of experience with these things! Sorry for the rambling - I just get excited when it comes to open water...
