Well.. thought I would make a few comments on the 10K this year. First the results are in:
Winner completed the two 5K laps in 2hrs 53 mins. The longest was 5hrs 13mins. A large spread and just finishing was an emormous accomplishment. As most know there was a bad current on the west leg.
Local swimmers results ( or by a nickname sometimes used : the merpeople :)
Anne Marie Bischofberger : 4:34
Rob Martell: DNF ( I made to the 4mile mark before stopping )
See you all in the water.

Coach Sal and the 2007 Rattlers
I'm not sure if this picture of Sal is BEFORE or AFTER the big game but either way, our congratulations go out to Coach Sal and the 2007 Rattlers who -- after a tough season of losses made it into the Minor League Championship Game. Coach Sal was heard to say to one and all that, "despite losing a close game we showed true heart and passion throughout the game". Well, that's not to surprising looking at who the Rattler's coach was this year. Way to go guys!

OWS at West Neck Beach: July 1, 2007
It was a little after 7am on Sunday morning, July 1, 2007 and the tide couldn't be any lower. How low was it? Well, all the rocks in the picture above -- including that high group in the middle ground are BELOW water at high tide! That didn't make the swim any shorter, it just made the walk to the water that much more painful. 
What a large group! But remember, that there is plenty of room in the water if you want to join us some morning
Coach Bob, bum shoulder and all, kicks his way out after the swim.
Rob and Ken were there as well -- but they are at West Neck Beach more days than not as Rob is getting ready for the 10K Open Water Championship in Huntington Bay in less than two weeks. Ken will be working as Rob's Kayak Guide. FYI, Rob logged a "short" 3.5 mile swim this Sunday morning after doing 6.5 miles yesterday.
