I talk about this more in-depth on my personal blog (not the blog in the USMS area, but the one below my sig block), but wondering if there is interest in having some sort of national OW series, similar to H2Open (magazine)'s new National Series.
I envision something like "most well-rounded" where you swim one event in each of three categories (1K to 4.9K, 5K-9.9K, 10K and up), then you're ranked with others in your age and sex range.
What say you?
I only made it to the 1st swim of this series -- www.comaswim.org/.../about.htm -- but it's now on my bucket list to do the whole weekend. The lake was spectacular (see picture and race report here forums.usms.org/blog.php, the organization top notch and the setting offered multiple lodging options around this beautiful part of the country.
Damn! That 5 races in 3 days concept is right up my alley. Holy crap that sounds like fun. One good thing about being stationed in the states is access to many OW swims!
