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?
Patch is ok but it is a lot of pain...close to 30K of pain to be exact. Did this in 2006 and 2007. Add one open water swim and you can be long distance all star for your age group if you are into that sort of thing.
