I'm starting to think about some goal races for the next few years and none of my aspirations include the Channel, Manhattan, or Catalina. I'd like to start going farther afield for my races, making it a fun vacation for my entire family with a longer race thrown in. Has anyone done any open water in Thailand? Indonesia? Vietnam? Korea? Japan?
I'd love to do 10K or longer.
Any suggestions?
We just had the 2nd Annual Bali Ocean Swim in Bali, Indonesia offering 1.2K, 5K, and 10K distances. It's held in early July.
It's a small but really top-notch event run by two Olympians (one being Bob Windle, a 1500m Olympic gold medallist from Australia). Winning time for the 10K was 2:02 in the open ocean.
