Great story in the NYT about swimming the 50 free

Heh, yeah, I'm good to get 9 strokes out of one breath, and that is not doing an all out.  Then again, if I really had to, maybe I could get more out of it.  Maybe I'll have to try that.  One day.  In the very, very far future.  After another couple of 100k yards of swimming.

Still, he says he swims an average of 42,000 meters a week, which amounts to 840 meters of preparation for each meter of the race — an awful lot of aerobic training for such an anaerobic race." Next time you're in the pool, swim all the way to the other end without taking a breath, breathe, then come back again on that one breath. Actually don't do that, but that's basically what he did!

So, like, in two-and-a-half weeks? Oh you said couple of 100K yards. These guys are phenomenal.

Snerk.  No, more like 2 and a half years!
