by all means, feel free to include personal experiences, e.g. your english channel swim, but try to note three race events that we might register for in 2012.
my three to be elaborated on later are;
Donner Lake Swim, Truckee, CA
Highland Lakes Challenge, Austin, TX
Pennock Island Challenge, Ketchikan, AK
Honorable mentions;

Yes, everyone made it. Paul made sure to emphasize, "This isn't a race. It's for fun." The water temperature was in the mid 70s. It was the muddiest water I've ever swum in.
Google Maps has a built-in measurement tool that I frequently use. You can read about it here:
