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
I've competed in OW events in two states: Arizona (Arizona OW Series in 2010 and 2013) and California (South Bay Catfish Crawl - 2010 and La Jolla Rough Water Swim - 2012). I need to get out more. :blush:
