2.7 miles in 1 hr. 18 minutes!


So as far as the eye can see doesn't even allow you to see the other shore where Scott started this race! WOW! It's amazing to me that he swam this far. The kids kept commenting on how HUGE the lake was and that they couldn't believe Daddy was swimming across the whole thing.

You can see some swimmers coming in...Scott was among them.
Here he is as he came up from the water onto the shore. His time was a bit longer than he had hoped due to the really choppy and rough water..the worst in 6 years! So considering all, Scott did really well! =)
Here he is crossing the finish line, he placed 59th out of 350.....pretty amazing really! =)
Because he sprinted the last few minutes Scott's muscles were screaming at him when he got out at the finish line. So he decided to get back in and swim some more to cool down. After all the excitement he had some lunch and then sat in a chair for a good hour before he was ready to walk back to our campsite.
