I see that the 1st USMS 25K National Championship will be held in Noblesville, IN on July 19. Anyone planning to do this? Sounds sort of crazy. But. . . could be fun to try provided the training is there. . .
Husband just walked by and I mentioned I wanted to *maybe* do this. His response was, "Don't I provide enough for you?"
If only he knew the swimmer's mind. . .

Only if you plan on swimming really slow. And only if you let me draft off you in the 25K.
And check out the photos of marathon swimmers Angela Maurer and Vladimir Dyatchin on the FINA web site. These swimmers are succeeding in swims longer and colder that the USMS 25K and neither is carrying much extra insulation.

Whatever! You are WAY faster than I am. :bow:
Great examples particularly since Vladimir had some major injuries from the jellyfish. I see what you are saying. However, how old is this kid? 12? :joker: Not that young, but he's gotta be in his 20s at most.
Need to switch to OW swimming. They don't post age ANYWHERE.
