      My watch informed me midway through that the battery was dying and it was deleting my history. Seems appropriate. Y'all, this has been so much fun! This challenge has helped with my endurance and discipline, and I've met some cool people. I honestly didn't think I'd make it across in 6 weeks, much less almostish back. It's been a pleasure swimming with you! Let's do it again soon!
       2nd Longest personal swim.

      I don’t miss my watch at all. It had its flaws anyway and counting has become a sick obsessive pleasure. Congrats on finishing the swim! I’ve done zero exercise all weekend.
      @SewSwimmy I'm so bad at math and sustained attention. I need all the help I can get!!

      We must have overLAPped (see what I did there?) Were you at Homestead or elsewhere?
      @SlothSwimmer Homestead from 9-10, lane 6, I think. You?
      @MarkF Luckily someone got out as I was getting there in lane 1 (I think? end lane opposite windows). Packed! I was there 9.40-11.
      @SlothSwimmer Yes, packed! That’s why I skip Fridays. Crazy busy!
      @MarkF my dream in life is to install one of those endless pools at home. Then, I could fully embrace my introverted hermit self AND beat the crowded issue.
      @SlothSwimmer That would be nice! Next week is going to be rough. With Homestead closed, I think the other options will be tight, unless everyone decides to also take a week off.
      @MarkF at least it's only a week, unlike last year. I'll go crazy if I don't swim for a week, so I'll be somewhere I guess!
      @SlothSwimmer Yep. Will squeeze into Community Center bright and early tomorrow.
      @MarkF I hate meters more than timed 100s AND 5.30.

      Open water swim? *crickets*
      @SlothSwimmer you just crossed the English Channel — you can swim a triangle in a lake. Plus I’m available for hand-holding at the starting line. Celebratory picnic after!
      You know I'll probably do it. I'll just hope for a cold spring so I can wear my wetsuit!
      Can you chlorinate the lake? If so, I’d be open for it.
      @SlothSwimmer @MarkF there is no chlorination but I am certain once you try it you will enjoy it (after feeling complete panic for the first five minutes). The group that runs the races has practices at Jordan lake usually starting in May for $5. It’s like a 300-yard course that you can practice swimming around with someone in canoe watching you. It’s a good way to test the waters. Or, you can just show up and swim the race and see what happens. That’s what I did the first time. I do not recommend that though. Here’s last year’s practice schedule https://www.osbmultisport.c...
      @SlothSwimmer @SewSwimmy Interesting. And good luck with your racing! Sadly, the only racing I do these days is chasing my kid around the house, blitzing through Saturday errands, or besting my 200 time with that wonky clock at Homestead.
      I don't race. I just try not to panic and drown. And shower like 6 times when I get home. It is a great feeling though! Better than 100s on the time clock! ;)

      It has been a long week. This morning I was reflecting how grateful I am that I can come to the pool at an absurdly early hour (by most people's standards) and find myself among all of you who understand the power of swimming to keep one balanced, mentally and physically. You rock.
       7th Longest personal swim.

      Absolutely true (except that I skip Fridays). But still very true.
      Absolutely! I have had every conversation with myself that one can have in the water — or done nothing at all except swim swim swim. It’s the best therapy out there!

      Oh, hey timed 100s. I almost forgot how much I hate you. Now, back to the house of plague, where my eldest child will watch endless, dramatic horse shows and ask me to bring her tea.
       3rd Longest personal swim of this race this month.

      Well done! I'm weird, but I love 100s (and 200s) for time, certainly more than the plague, tea, or horse shows.
      @MarkF it's really a love/hate. I always plan to do x many, then it turns into, well that wasn't so bad, I can do one more... And it feels soooo good afterwards! Well, once the nausea passes. Totally @SewSwimmy's fault. She's a swim pusher!
      It really is love/hate. And, great that you have someone to push you! I do a tiny little set of 5 pretty much every week. One moderate, three as fast as I can with 20 seconds rest, one float (where I hope that a lifeguard doesn't jump in and rescue me). I add up the times of the three fast and record it in my head for the next week when I try to chase down my personal record.
      @MarkF I'm glad others have the same irrational fear that the lifeguard is going to think they need saving because of some weird thing they're doing. Another guy I was walking out with this morning said the same thing!
      (Which is why I never do butterfly/drowning stroke)
      I only swim freestyle. I'm not going burn any more calories with any other stroke and certainly won't burn much if I drown!
      I’m glad you are back in the wonderful world of the pace clock. I did mine today too — I get it over with at the beginning of the swim, then everything else I do is just sheer pleasure. This is going to be the spring that I get to that elusive time I can never quite hit. I’m gonna do it! I really am! ?
      @SewSwimmy Plan: let's set a time for you and @MarkF to race each other in 100s and in will bring popcorn and a beach chair and lament my slothness. :)
      Heck no! I am not swimming against @MarkF but I’m always up for trying to set a personal best!
      @SewSwimmy Interesting. I always swim it at the end. At this age, I think I need the entire workout to build up to swimming fast. (Sigh!) @SlothSwimmer I would gladly eat popcorn in place of even trying to race anyone in a 100 (or a 200, for that matter). In fact, eating popcorn IS the reason I swim (and by "popcorn", I also mean beer, pizza, wings, ribs...)
      Mmmmmm...beer. We should organize a post-Channel swimmer's meet and greet that involves beer! Unfortunately, I'm such a lame introvert that I a. wouldn't want to leave my house when the time came, b. would also have to change out of my pjs, and c. could never actually talk to new people in real life. Except @SewSwimmy. She's stuck with me!
      @SlothSwimmer As a fellow introvert, I must say swimming makes it very easy to “hide”. That said, a collective beer sounds nice.
      Beer yes! Timed 100s no!!
      @wellesley1988 - Ooh! Better idea - shots after each time 100! Kidding.
      @Wellesley1988 I think we did that in college...long, long ago.
      @MarkF @SewSwimmy @Wellesley1988 Well, we have 2 options. Get a cold six pack, circle our cars, and wave awkwardly to each other while we drink alone, or actually meet in person and be sociable adults (hard for me). I have no idea where the cool kids/middle aged adults hang out these days for a drink. But we can make this happen! Maybe.

      As this challenge draws to a close, I must ask: did you go to Wellesley? I went to Smith. #sevensisters
      @SewSwimmy @Wellesley 1988, Smith '78 here!
      @SewSwimmy Hello Sister! I did go to Wellesley and graduated in '88. I swam while I was there. When did you graduate from Smith and did you swim?
      @Wellesley1988 class of 2001! I did not swim for Smith — I’m a summer league child swimmer from the Boston area who picked it back up during my sophomore year at smith as a way to stay fit! I’ve basically never stopped. I’ve been a swimmer through all the highs and lows of my adult life including three pregnancies! Very glad my parents forced me into the freezing cold New England water every June for swim team. Now I am putting my own kids theough the same fun ? although they are doing more than I ever did as a child.
      Wow! #sevensisters are well repesented in this challenge and also includes @MaryAnn70 ?‍♀️??

      how do you get to the other leaderboard to start the next leg?

      They are counting an 1800 yard or 1650 meter swim as a mile. One mile equals 72 lengths in a 25 yard pool (like Homestead Aquatic Center) or 66 lengths in a 25 meter pool (like Chapel Hill Community Center). Every 1 length = 25. if you did 20 lengths, you would enter 500 (20 x 25) and then choose yards or meters.

    We've got racers all over the globe! To keep everyone on the same page, we've come up with some handy guidelines:
    1. We rely on the honor system... you don't have to use a device to prove your miles -- a good map suffices.
    2. Only swimming miles please! (NOTE: miles on a racer's personal log are for all races they are in, over all sports)
    3. Please attribute your mileage to the appropriate day -- don't combine mileage from multiple days.
    4. Please only backdate mileage for a race up to two weeks in the past.
    5. Miles submitted after the race ends will not count toward race leaderboards.
