Hi all,
I'm looking to try an ow event when the warmer weather rolls around. This would be my first so I'm looking for something kind of newb friendly, maybe in the 1 - 2 mile range. I live in the philadelphia area so I'm convenient to NJ, DE, MD, NY.
I've been poking around the net looking for this but apparently not in the right places. Can anybody reccomend a race or point out a website that has details on lots of them?
Thanks

A few more suggestions for the Atlantic City area:
1) Bridge-to-Bridge: They have 1.3 mile and 5 km swims. Great course in the bay. Usually around the first week in July.
2) Pageant swim: 1.5 miles in the ocean. This is a bit rougher than the others, but if you feel up to it, it's fun. Usually first week in Sept.
3) Yates swim - one mile with a strong current behind you.
For something different: Allentown, PA: Lehigh river races (1 & 2 mile, but they are a bit short.) Get your butt kicked by 11 year old kids. With the current in the Lehigh River. Get a good map to get to the start - it can be hard to find. Usually in July.
