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!

Hi Runner Girl,
I'm glad your surgery went well. That's great that detached retina can be fixed so easily now! Gald you're okay. Fortunately, I don't have detached retina! I have blocked lacrimal ducts and they will be going in endoscopically through my nose. Very pleasant. Will be taking a week off from swimming. Arg!!
Great tips! I did not think of caffeine b/c I never drink any - but what a great idea for a long swim. Maybe starting at hour 4 or 5 b/c I know they can/ do act as diuretics. Super advice. Thanks!!
