Very cool, Kevin. Sounds like a very memorable day.

yep...but the best ones keep their head down most of the time. Those guys that keep the head high are injecting inefficiency there. When I took a drownproofing course at GA Tech in 1970 the instructor said a head weighed about 15 pounds (never asked him how he knew!). Lifting the head high...

Interesting...I did not drill down far enough to glean that.

Radical lady!! Unprecedented levels of fitness there.

Awesome Kevin...that will be a cool outing. Kudos to both of you

John...that is an amazing event. Never realized such an event existed...I cannot imagine swimming 10 miles. Kayak support is a great idea. Thanks for sharing that. The video from last year is interesting: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bLg_AMIpH64"...

I don't think I posted this before...one of several videos I took of our last year's "cluster fock"...a Triathlon that our Dive Team ran water safety for. You can see our dive boat in the beginning. I was the only kayak last year. This year another diver used his kayak as did a swimming coach...

Sounds like you had a good plan and worked it...and it worked! Very good show on positioning and energy/hydration. Congrats on a good finish.

A good buddy of mine is Diana's logistics guy. He owns the water sports venue at La Samanna on St. Martin where she trains. He set up her transit for the Cuba swim and ran the show for the swim.

That's very impressive...thanks for the update. You are rocking the swimming, John.

Impulsive?? Crazy-assed! Guy must be a hoot to be around. :lol:

hahaha....totally get that! Crazy story about the cave...so you found a breathable pocket..and then went back with a match and candle! Way hard core..:lol:

Good idea on the buoy...boats are definitely a big concern. Cool that y'all can swim together. 1.5 miles is nothing to sneeze at...good show.

haha...that's a very understandable story...unexpected big bumps in water...worth an adrenaline dump. Quick snorkeling story here, too..except I was the unexpected bump. Some friends and I were snorkeling in Mexico, at Barcelo resort, beautiful water, pocked with limestone passageways...

Roger that on That's what would be going thru my mind, Stig...night swim in the ocean? Don't think so. I understand why you recommend beer!

ha! You are not alone Chris. I am a good swimmer...but it plays with my head when I swim in the ocean and know it's 1,000 feet to the bottom. There is something very weird to me feeling suspended over such an expanse of water...kind of like being on a 6 inch spar at 80 feet wiggles my brain a...

Agree, MB...all the running I did was on trails, in the woods at local Nature Preserve. V...hahaha...I don't know about awesome but I have seen folks get in trouble swimming a lot. A fall in running you get up and brush off the dirt...a mess up in water and it can be a lot different.

Running definitely hammers feet, knees, hips...repetitive pounding of the foot strike and all that energy goes through the joints. Most runners don't really stretch so they get tight hamstrings, quads, etc. which leads to injuries. I think swimming can be one of the very best overall...
