Lance Armstrong swam in a 2.4 mile open water swim this weekend and was only beaten by two professional triathletes. He swam the distance in 49+ minutes and missed out on the win by only 22 seconds. WOW!

thanks Chris...
a fair answer to the all-american question is 'it depends...'
20 minute mile pace at the mansfield dam, lake travis is fast.
I've done about a half-dozen swims there, and I know at least two 'swimmers' in the water this past weekend. I signed up for the race but didn't want to drive four hours in the middle of the night to reach lake travis... whitetail deer, armadillos & raccoons on the road & likely motoring though houston's loop very close to bar closing.
i was very much looking forward to a post-race breakfast taco at 'juan-in-a-million!'
FYI - chaos will vouch i'm slow... and fat.
