thanks chris derks and welcome to the board
hope to target tampa bay and manhattan island in 2013 but very ambitious for me
Chris Derks mentioned he swam Tampa four times -what really needs to be mentioned is he won it all four times:applaud:
The Tampa Bay Marathon is one tough swim - which is also part of it's beauty!
An open water swim classic for sure.

I had a great kayaker.
My back is still screwed up (I had my fourth operation in four years last October), so I haven't been able to train much. Maybe next year.......
i thought i might give this thread a bump since the marathon swim is tomorrow.
best of luck swimmers!

From Distance Matters
All 16 solo swimmers and 3 relay teams were forced to withdraw due to inclement weather at the 15th Annual event on April 21, 2012
Sarah Thomas of Englewood, Colorado maintained a lead throughout the race, and was the leader of the pack when inclement weather forced an early end to the race. After swimming in Tampa Bay, battling wind and waves for 6 hours, 25 minutes, approaching lightning ended the event before any of the swimmers were able to reach the finish line.
Congratulations on great efforts and condolences on not being allowed to get to the finish line.
