The Manhattan Island Foundation gave a nice description of the Ederle Swim. The link can be clicked here: www.10kswimmer.com/.../ederle-swims-sole-survivor-winner.html.

yes, i was there and out at sea in a boat... swim took place Sunday 10/26... very, very tough swim due to mid 50's water temp & 2 & 3 foot breakers past the verrazano... the wind came out of the west which pushed swimmers towards breezy point -- after 5 or 6 hours the remaining 2 swimmers were pulled because they were not making any progress -- Lance Ogren was not only the lone finisher, he was the only one who came close.... --john (snappy)

i know that the swim was postponed until sunday the 26th, but i haven't heard any first hand reports yet. i swam at coney island with lance a couple of weeks ago...he was swimming well, and it looks like he had a pretty fast swim. i'm suprised that david blanke didn't finish. i'll be looking for the race report.
