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!

What are your thoughts on perpetuem and hammer electrolytes aka endurolytes? I'm debating between that mixture vs. your Jansenade (gu gels and accelerade if I remember correctly) - both of which I will try during a 3+ hour practice swim. My friends who do Ironman tris highly recommend those two hammer products which are supposedly cutting edge.
one added benefit of the perpetuem mix is the neutral flavoring is rather pleasant when your mouth is being exposed to all that salt. sweet flavors are magnified in such an environment.
