    This thread spurred me back into enjoying long swims - I'd hate to see it die!

    @LeiLaura - you past the 2km now? :D

    Speaking of long swims, our local tri club president sent out an invitation to our club's annual New Year's Day swim. As usual, the event is a 100x100 format. The event starts at 12 noon and goes until completion of the10,000 yard distance or whenever the pool closes. Last year, 9 people completed the swim. I was not one of them, but I was reminded of this thread.

    You need to rehab that shoulder for more IM racing. I'm counting on you to join me in Coeur D"Alene, if not before!!

    To celebrate New Year's Day, my Master's swim club is doing 150x50s (yards), which comes out to 6k yards or 5,486 meters. We have two hours to finish. I'll come back to this and report Wednesday.

    1 hour 52 minutes. The sets were planned and times in intervals chosen by the coach. I think I could have gone faster if I was able to swim it in longer sets.

    I swam 78 miles in 2019. The longest at one time was 1 mile. (I’ve had to cut back my yardage this fall due to shoulder pain😢)
