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!

    my first swim with CIBBOWS and at coney island... water temperature was great... lots of non-stinging jellies in the water... will definitely return for more CIBBOWS events. I worked my butt off - not very fit; not properly hydrated and not the proper mindframe. great to see chaos and clare. i highly recommend a destination swim to NYC... either NYC Swim or CIBBOWS. Hostels can be very cheap accommodations - you won't sleep great!
