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!

just a couple of thoughts here.
i like endurolytes and perpetuem and prefer the flavored perpetuem.
it replaces one endudrolyte per serving.
one thing with a swim in salt water is be careful of doing too many endurolytes bec/ you might end up with too much sodium and nauseated.
i have only used hammergel on my long swims but they were only 5 miles.
i use perpetuem on the bike on long rides all the time.
for sunscreen, the old ironman sunscreen is wonderful. is it now marketed under ULTRA 44 or you can go to SOLRX and get the "Bait and tackle" and that's the same formulation as the old IM stuff. i love it and it works great.
in general i love hammer products. they are great on customer service if you have questions.
good luck
