ntrprnr 0 #1 July 23, 2006 Coming out of a half-mile swim in NYC's Hudson River, heading over to the transition point to throw on sneakers for the run. Other than slightly metalic taste, and a somewhat sticky residue that two showers have yet to get rid of, it's a surprisingly clean river. :D_______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?"

FlyingJ 0 #8 July 24, 2006 Which event was this for? I used to be an organizer for the kayak swim support for all of the NYC SWIM sponsored races as well as for the various multi-event races that happened in town. I get to do an awful lot of fun kayaking down in Florida, but so far I haven't been able to beat paddling in NYC harbor, and especially can't beat being there as people jump into the Hudson for the first time helping them to make it through the "death defying ordeal" they all think it will be. Killing threads since 2004. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats incredibly brave of you--did you wear goggles? Did you open your eyes? I still owe you a drink so hurry up and find time so I can actually say I MET someone who went into the Hudson on his own accord (and came out). ~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!
