Was just looking at the events calendar for next year at www.thewaterisopen.com and was amazed at the number of events that they have in Ireland. Ireland is about the size of Indiana (and only about 75% the size of Pennsylvania), but they have a huge number of events. A nice variety of distances, too.
I think that the Court Without Appeal needs to be surprised with a vacation to Ireland next summer at a time and place that just HAPPENS to coincide with some of the more desirable races.

The land of my ancestors! No wonder I am finding myself attracted to the sport! But my current travel budget is so low budget I may have to swim to get to Ireland. But think of it--wouldn't need to worry about taking my shoes off to go through security... they'd already be off... metal detectors--no problem! (Doiubt that sharks care about stuff like shoes and keys anyway.)
Seriously, how cool would it be to get a chance to do some OW swimming in Ireland--and enjoy a pint or three besides... :chug:
