you might want to recalculate that. It's actually a hair under 1:01/100. For reason my calculator just refused to compute that. But you're right. That's even more amazing.

Well, what'd you get to? Did you swim it with Erwin and Kevin Everett? I timed for Kevin, Kira timed for Jeff. I swam the second hour, and got 4650. I think Jeff got 57XX. I know he added 300+/- from last year when I timed him. Kevin did not exceed his yardage from last week. He said he could feel it. He over-trained this week, which didn't help him yesterday. How'd you do last week? I feel like I need to get in the pool today and swim this soreness off.

I did my Hour Swim on Thursday. I'm sure glad I did it Thursday and didn't wait until the weekend. Everything is closed here due to the winter storm. I can't say that I enjoy the swim, but I have a great feeling of accomplishment when I finish.

I assume that you had to swim alone in the second heat since I noticed that Kira posted on FB that she was going to swim it today? That's too bad; it's nice to swim with someone to share your misery ;-) Also a bummer that Kevin didn't beat his yardage last week. I know that he really wanted to break 5600. Swimming that race two weeks in a row would be brutal though. And, well, Jeff's just amazing! I did okay. Around my average since I started participating in the event. I've gone more yards but also fewer, so I can't complain (5070). I was on pace to go 5100 at the 30 minute mark, but I couldn't hold onto it, oh well. I would really like to swim it with both you and Kira. I think that we'd be good for each other. Maybe in 2011?

Swam my 1HP today. I am sore! I shouldn't be, but I am. I started getting calf cramps in my left leg with 8 minutes to go. I swam it off over a 100. I sprinted the last 3 minutes, and I could feel both legs cramping at that point. While it is a boring swim, it wasn't as bad as last year. I found myself counting my strokes with each lap. When I started to fatigue, my stroke count started to increase by 1, then 2. When I noticed it, I tried to stretch out more and glide. That seemed to help return to my normal cadence, which also meant better flip turns and breathing. All in all, glad to be finished. I beat my yardage from last year by 175, so I am happy. 12 months until the next one.

I'm 39 though, so Greg doesn't need to worry about me. The one you really don't want to look at is what Mike Shaffer did last year. 5,910 yards! Holy crap!!!!!!!! That's a 1:06/100 pace for an HOUR???????? :afraid: :bow: :applaud:

I did 4525 yards this morning. Although one guy said that my counter (a tall coach at the Mesa pool) miscounted and I did more, but said counter did get splashed plenty. This was my first time, and I beat my goal. More info to follow later today in my blog. that guy counting only has 10 fingers. how was he able to hold the pencil after your first 250 yds?

I didnt really realize this was some type of event that was actually ranked. If I woulda known that I might not have worn a drag suit and stopped 3 times to get a drink. Oh well :) you have 4 more days to do it again

I did this last week -- I managed 4500. I am, however, a drop dead sprinter and I was very tired after the first twenty minutes. Since I've never done this before, I have plenty of room to improve :). By the way, nice swim last year, Ande!

Don't look at Kirk's results, depressing. I'm 39 though, so Greg doesn't need to worry about me. The one you really don't want to look at is what Mike Shaffer did last year. 5,910 yards!

swam my first ever 1hr postal this morning and was able to do 5,000. It was actually kinda fun, but I admit, I kinda got bored after the first mile. How does distance stack up for a 43yr old? Don't look at Kirk's results, depressing. I'm hoping a 5K distance will be around the 15th spot, give or take. I put the voodoo curse on chaos, he will think he's in the English Channel and go too slow and only make it to 4998 yards.
