https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/open-water-training-and-technique/25765/chattanoogaBig thanks to Karah Nazor et al. for all of their hard work putting on the swim festival this weekend. Some may underestimate the logistics of dropping 500 people of vastly differing abilities in a moving body of water to race. Great times!

According to my calculations, there were a number of errors in the overall standings we received via email. I think these results are more accurate for the top 8 finishers. Please let me know if you see any errors. The biggest error was that the third place finisher overall, Christopher Graef, was left out of the top 5.

Thanks to them and their horde of volunteers. And congratulations to Kurt who swam 2.4 miles in 31:35 (1st place, national champion, averaging 45 second per 100Y) and swam 9.2 in 2:08:19 (2nd averaging 47 seconds per 100Y)!<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/272532?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 05 Jun 2017 06:09:14 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:41f63477-4ff3-4b6e-9f3c-121e12b5675fFormer MemberRob busting out 14:24 miles!

The ironman course goes through part of the area you all did on Sunday. The course stays around the upper bridges, taking out before the last bridge that you all past before going into the bend.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
