sluiper Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Just in case any of you missed it, the Human Rights Day Swim that was supposed to happen on the 21st is now happening on the 30th. There's a 3km swim which should be a nice warm up for next week's Ironman.

sluiper Posted March 27, 2014 Author Posted March 27, 2014 Ha ha, sorry, meant to write 3 mile I'll be using a wetsuit. There are some very brave (read: insane) guys that will be doing the swim without wetsuits.

(wifey is on the boat supporting some lunatic who's doing false bay crossing this weekend, speedo and goggles) Who is doing the crossing? Is there enough time crossing in daylight or is the plan to swim a part of it in the dark?

The crossing I followed was Steven Klugman's and he ran out of daylight. I dont want to swim those waters in the dark!! Edited March 27, 2014 by hopefield

Some next level craziness out there. Just out of interest: why do they swim to Miller's Point and not to Cape Point?

reteid Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 even with a wetsuite it is cold.everything that sticks out is sort of puffy and frozen after a while.
