Anyone here swim this last Saturday? I will quote from the official site:
This was a race to remember with grueling conditions from end to end.
* 20-mph winds from the NW into the swimmers' path through the race
* Horrendous waves, especially after the Long Island Bridge
* Cold water throughout the race
My daughter won the womens side, really pumped for the "worse conditions in 10 years" . she wanted a race to prove she is ready for the Channel, not the little Red Light House swim at 16, nor swimming the Manhattan Marathon at 18 were not enough. Almost 4 hours of 60 degree temp. stopping to ride out some waves, swimming impossible, Those on scene say they think she is ready........Guess I best be sending in for my passport, understand that it takes awhile.
First race of this kind I have not attended in person, will never make that mistake again. Anyone know of any links (checked the Boton Globe and Herald) would much appreciate. :wine:

Have ordered packet, will have boat captain lined up by end of September... She will graduate from College this Spring...will continue to swim until attempt in Aug or Sept next year. Then she says she is hanging it up for a while. Having swam since age of 5 to now 21, I understand the need for a break..... What is the best beer sold in Britian?.. (got to get the important stuff out of the way first)
