Anyone planning on doing the 12.5 mile Swim Around Key West?
Or has anyone done the swim before?
The Race Director Bill Welzien is attempting to swim around Key West once a month for a year. He's posted his race experiences through December 2006 but he's not posted an update since December 2006. I hope he's doing okay.
Still working on getting an escort. . .
Anyway, should be a fun event. I hope to be there even w/ a surgery scheduled for April 30. Doc cleared me and said I could do it - course, we'll see how it goes after the surgery. Now, just need to continue to get in that yardage. Doubles were hard the first couple of weeks, but now they're pretty fun!

BTW, this is a bit confusing. Looks like the race director/ sponsorship changed some time back from Bill Welzien sponsoring it to the FKCC (Florida Keys Community College) hosting it. New web site is www.fkccswimaroundkeywest.com. Different start time, entry fee, pre race meeting. Looks like it's now coast guard and USMS sanctioned which is good. Just a heads up to anyone who is thinking of doing this swim.
I came across this change accidentally when searching on google and saw that Randy Nutt posted this info in January. Anyway, it's confusing as the www.swimaroundkeywest.com site is still up.
