From Competition / Postals (on top USMS page):
"USMS holds five long distance postal championships each year: the One Hour, 5K, 10K, 3000 yd. and 6000 yd. events. Swimmers who complete all five championships in the same year will be sent a participation patch to honor their achievement."
The patch is pretty neat.
I thought I would bring this to general attention because only one week remains to complete the first postal swim.
Any stories, thoughts from ppl who completed the Postal Challenge in previous years?
My goal is set for January 2013. I plan on swimming one postal swim in the first 10 days when I'm in the 30-34 age group, and then another after the 11th when I'm in the 34-35 age group. It's a special privilege afforded to all us January babies.
Maybe I'll try for the patch in 2012 while I wait.
In the meantime, I don't think our team is going to be able to find the pool time to get to do the postal this year, which is sad.
