Expert 1249  MI | Subject: RE: Swim to the Moon : Official Thread I want to do this!!! However, I'm not sure if it's realistic. Currently I'm at the point where I can comfortably swim 1750m continuously a few times a week. Do you think I would be able to safely build up to 5K by the end of August? How are you training for this? Anything special, or are you just doing your normal tri training? |

Expert 819 In the Shadow of the Big House | Subject: RE: Swim to the Moon : Official Thread I was seriously looking at doing this one, but I'm not sure it's going to work into my schedule. Kid stuff is seriously limiting the races this year. If I don't make it out there I am very interested to hear from those that do; so I can put it on my schedule for next year (or not). |

| Master 1895 | Subject: RE: Swim to the Moon : Official Thread I'd LOVE to do this race! But, we're going to be in Vegas for my fathers 60th birthday. If you're interested in OWS races, check out the Harbor Springs Coastal Crawl on Sunday, August 1st. You can do 1, 2 or 3 miles. I did the 2 mile race last year and loved it. I'm shooting for the 3 mile race this year.

Veteran 194 Pinckney, MI | Subject: RE: Swim to the Moon : Official Thread I'm intrigued to the point of nerding it up a little bit, concerning cutoff times and whatnot for the 5k swim. The cutoff times listed are as follows:
For now, I'll just convert the miles to hundreds of yards, and I'll assume 1 mile = 1760 yards .75 miles = 1320 yds or 13.2 100's 1.6 miles = 2816 yds or 28.16 100's 2.0 miles = 3520 yds or 35.20 100's 2.4 miles = 4224 yds or 42.24 100's 3.1 miles = 5456 yds or 54.56 100's So... you can beat the cutoff times (at least) if you can manage faster than 2:50 /100yds and swimming at cutoff pace will put you at the finish line in 02:35:00 (155 minutes) DANGIT!! Now you have me thinking about it, really considering this race and wishing my toes were webbed! |

I believe it's the first year for this event. I think I'll be doing the 5k as I don't have any races that weekend and don't have to work that weekend. |

I think I'll be doing the 5k as I don't have any races that weekend and don't have to work that weekend. It is the first year for the event... I gave it some thought, but I'm leary - logistics must be a nightmare to begin with, add in that it's the first year for the event. I will say the Epic folks do a good job (they use to be involved with EE). |

Regular 78 | Subject: RE: Swim to the Moon : Official Thread I am thinking about it, but probably won't commit until after my half. If I do it, it will definitely be the 5K. I'd be VERY surprised if this sells out. |
