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!
Yes, those that were able to see Gail Rice swim butterfly around Key West, without breaking stroke were looking at one of the finest open water swimmers ever! There were actually 4 solo swimmers that each swam a different stroke around Key West - Christena did backstroke which resulted in what she referred to as the raccoon tan -sunburn all but in the goggles area!
(it only added to her beauty!)
There has been some confusion as it appears two swim events are taking place directed by two different organizations. Lori Bosco directs the swim that is sanctioned by USMS and can be found here:
