Pensacola Race Management 25k

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

    there must be practically ZERO reward in hosting a 25K swim. I don't believe any open water swimmers are excited about 'lap swims' regardless of distance but they do happen. the 'lap swims' i have done this year alone include the Big Shoulders 5K in Chicago, IL, the Wild Fish 2-mile Swim in Salem, MA, the Steelman 5K in Quakertown, PA, the Rice Aquatics 1-mile in Houston, TX and the Swimmin' in Moonshine 2-mile in Branson, MO. you don't like the course of a race, don't swim it... I appreciate anyone 'crazy' enough to host an open water swim - anywhere... any distance it isn't helpful to be at all thin-skinned when posting on a web board but - geog - the laps of the Pensacola bridge will not be identical... google-map the 'gulf breeze parkway, pensacola, FL' and 'did someone already state what is wrong with marathon swimming?'... seriously?
