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!

I agree with the prior posting. I have done st croix as well and wasn't even warned about the "sea lice" and very surprised as i got numerous little stings, and i understand they are actually baby jellyfish that are churned up with the sea grass. anyway, they are a whole different thing from a true jellyfish significant sting. make sure you ask about what you are going to encounter and be prepared!
and i would definitely do st croix this year but it's one week before ironman FL
(where there are jellyfish in the gulf swim) so i'll be back next year!
