I plan on swimming the Low Country Splash on May 26th in Charleston, SC. It is an Ironman Distance Swim--2.4 miles. The race starts in the Wando River, goes under the Cooper River Bridge and finishes in the Charleston Harbor Marina.
I looked at the 2006 results and the winner's time was 37:40!!! The "worst" time out of 220 male/female competitors was 1:10:35.
Either super world class swimmers show up for this event or the river current is huge and favorable. I suspect the latter. Anyone familiar with this race?
