I will be joined by 9 heavy hitters for this 2010 NYCSWIM finale.
they are predicting a little weather for saturday in these parts so the course direction has been changed and the start time will now be 4:45 AM (thats right folks.... darkness, wind and waves! what could be a better way to wrap up the season)

4 inch waves! 80 degree water!
Only the strong survive!
I believe it's on the 17th, so one could take part in one of these other events then take a flight to the tropics.
I've done the swim twice and I swear the waves were 12-18 inches and the water was 79. To make up for the hardship there's beer at the finish line :)
