The folks at Pensacola Race Management said that they were going to put on a 25k swim to go along with their 5k and 10k. (www.3milebridgeswim.org) They've announced the date of their swim, and said that they were taking ideas and drawing up maps, but their website hasn't been updated since June. I know that the race is 8 months away or so, but I'm curious if anyone has heard anything. This is one of my big targets for next season.
Thanks,
Tim
Lap courses also tend to be much cheaper, due to said logistical issues. Just not very interesting. Say I'm determined to swim 25K, and I have two options, both 5 laps of a 5K:
- buying a flight to Pensacola and swimming laps of the bridge;
- or, walking out my front door and swimming laps between North Ave & Ohio St in Chicago (also 5K);
Which will I choose? Probably the latter.
I hope that it doesn't turn into a lap swim, but, if it does, that does make it easier on the supporting organization, so I'll understand why.
