Heroic birth of a new OW event

www.youtube.com/watch For those of you who have always wanted to win an open water swimming event, I have discovered the key: 1. invent a new race 2. establish a registration price of $29.95 to weed out anyone who is not serious 3. decide on a personal whim when to hold the event 4. publicize the event, through word of mouth, five minutes before the race starts Using these techniques, I am proud to report that I not only won the 55-59 age group for men but came in #1 overall, besting every other man, woman, child, and piece of floating detritus in the field. No one, and I mean NO ONE, even came close. PS I plan to be holding the event again next year, around the same time (i.e., a couple days before or after my birthday), so if anyone is in Ocean City New, Jersey at the beginning of Libra, consider signing up. You can PM me for an address to mail your $29.95 registration fee.
