While driving back to the hotel after the Chesapeake Bay Swim this past Sunday, we started talking about the different states in which we'd done open water swims. The criteria was that it had to be an organized event (not a workout and not just hopping in a lake). Oh, and it had to be a swim event; not a triathlon. I was allowed to count both Minnesota and Wisconsin because I did a swim where we started in Wisconsin and finished in Minnesota.
Here is how many states are on my list. How many are on yours? This may be a good goal - to try to do an organized, open water event in every state!
Arkansas
Florida
Illinois
Kansas
Maryland
Minnesota
Missouri
Nebraska
Texas
Wisconsin
...and one territory: Puerto Rico
Yeah, there haven't been any there for a number of years. yes sir - my thinking was I might have to knock out Kansas with half-ironman or HOPEFULLY an Olympic-length triathlon. New Mexico had a long-time 'olympic' at elephant butte but this year is making the race a half-ironman. It looks like a great venue for either length race - I imagine i'll be using some very foul language about 3 miles into the 'run' of a half-ironman. bobswims, grumpy tuna and gregoc have amassed both quantity and quality too. have any of you seen this facebook page - www.facebook.com/.../182204839261
