Hi folks,
At the Lake Champlain swim this past summer, I met a woman who was looking to organize a 10-miler for a different Vermont lake. If you're on this forum, I'd love to know what's going on with that, or if you need any help. I'm itching to do a 10-mile and to have one within driving distance of Massachusetts would be ideal.
Thanks!

Leonard, if you do the Little Red Lighthouse swim maybe I will see you there. As I plan on making the trip from Indiana to NY for the swim in 2009. I will be accompanied by my soon to be Freshman in College daughter, and my recently graduated from College daughter (who won the race when she was 14) for the swim. It use to be 7 miles, now like 5 miles. But with the Current assists looks to be about a 2.5 mile swim (based on times last year). I have never done any swim like this before, so may need you to pull my butt out of trouble. :)
I did it in '02 - back when it was still about 7.8 miles. Great fun and hairy as all get out, which made it even more fun. The year I did it about 10% of the field was DQ'ed for being swept past the finish area. I BARELY made it into the finish area myself. I also had a kayaker run right over the top of me just as I turned into the finish area.
Yes, I will try to keep this on the schedule and hope to see you there. I bet we can probably talk David Barra into showing up as well. Pray for good weather.
