Funny how things happen. I saw a tweet today from @blueseventy that said: “10 mile swim in TN – why not? We have an entry for the first person to tell us the winning time from last year #swimthesuck”
Swim The Suck is a 10 mile open water swim through Tennessee River Gorge and sorta sounds crazy and tempting at once. But, there’s no way I could pull that one out of my ass, so I simply re-tweeted.
That’s when my coach @IMRBRUCE, jumped on board with this: “@blueseventy 3:22:44!! I live in Nashville. Hook me up!”
First of all, the winner swam 10 miles in 3:22? Second of all, five minutes ago, my coach said BLUESEVENTY contacted him and he’s in the race. And, oh, it’s this Saturday!
So, he’ll be doing a 10 mile swim on Saturday in Chattanooga, then driving to Alabama for Goosepond to do the swim portion of a 1/2 distance triathlon relay with us on Sunday. Dude is gonna be straight up water-logged.
