What a nice weekend! We had good conditions for October with early temps around 55 climbing up to the mid 70's with plenty of sun. Water temp around 70 degrees. We were fortunate to have some current giving us a push down the river. Winning time was 3:04 I believe. This scenic swim is a good one to add to your list for next year.
It was nice to meet Chicken of the Sea, EVMO and all of the other swimmers along with The Wookiee.
The event organizers and all of the volunteers did a great job. The Chattanooga community were great host and went all out to welcome us and put on a fun event.
Save the link for next year and results should be posted soon.

As a first-time event, I don't know how it could have been more successful. Such a fun, friendly vibe throughout. Kudos to Karah and her small army of volunteers for pulling it off.
Marathon swimmers only have a handful of events to choose from each year, and this is a tremendous addition. Compared to others, this one is both accessible (no Q-swim!) and affordable ($200 for everything, including two full meals, dedicated kayak support, and beer at the finish) :drink:
Great to meet you, Wook & Franco!
