Would anyone like to share goals for 2011 too? My bucket swims this season include the Boston Light Swim (August) and the Great Chesapeake Bay Bridge Swim (June)... might try swimming the ASA Lake Travis Relay (October) as a solo...
The new season is nearly upon us, and I imagine we do have a few southern hemisphere visitors to this board.
Where and when does your 2011 season kick off?
I am waiting to see the date and details set for Rice Women's Twin Lakes Open Water Festival - mid- to late April, and definitely the Cap 2k sponsored by Sandy and Keith Bell and their American Swimming Association at Lady Bird Lake, Austin, TX.
Any OW discussion where Chaos chimes in instantly makes me feel wholly inadequate, given his super-human OW status.
Agreed, but my super-wimpy short OW-race focused season will make you feel manly again:
Fran Crippen Mile (www.active.com/.../the-crippen-sunset-mile-open-water-swim-2011)
I'm signed up because until last week I was planning (e.g., flights paid for!) to be in Fort Meyers for my eldest daughter to swim the USAS 5K National Champs, then this came out ... www.usaswimming.org/ViewNewsArticle.aspx ... so I'm not sure where I'll be or if the USAS 5K champs will even be that same weekend
La Jolla Rough Water (www.ljrws.com), Sept 11th, will do 1 mile
3 swims in the fall portion of the Arizona Open Water series (www.dcbadventures.com/.../Swimming), will do the 2K option
I am hoping to find some open water swim somewhere in late July/August wherever my family goes on vacation.
