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!

Holding 3:01-3:04s on 9x300 is excellent. I know that pool is not the same as OW but I would think LA would be *worse* in the pool (compared to OW), not better.
i have to say i'm not that surprised. the TDF is probably the most grueling endurance event in the world, so someone who has conquered that, and has a swimming background should be able to draw from the combination of experiences and lay down some smoking fast times in the water.
(lets face it.... in the world of USMS; 3:01- 3:04's are SMOKING)
