Just curious if any of my fellow forum-ites are doing the USMS 5K race this weekend....
Even if you're not, any advice for this course/swim area of Coney Island if you've done the Cibbows races before? Heard that they run a great race, but some currents can be challenging on some parts of their typical 5K course.
Happy Swimming!

the course is a loop that runs parallel to the beach. it is likely that there will be some current assist in one direction, and a head current in the other direction. most swimmers can expect an extra 15 - 30 minutes than a 5k in a neutral body of water.
