The Great Pier to Pier Dwight Crum Swim

The presence of your good thoughts are requested tomorrow morning at 9am Pacific time. That is when I shall embark upon my 2 mile rough water swim from the south side of the Hermosa Beach Pier to the north side of the Manhattan Beach Pier.

I did it in 2006 in 1:09:30.57 and hope to beat that time. Part of that will depend on current and water conditions, of course. I am hesistant to say that it truly could not be worse than in 2006 when the waves grew to immense proportions during the race, because I know things can always be worse. Last time I swam to end of the pier, the home stretch, and asked a lifeguard to rescue me. Thankfully she declined and so I was not DQed.

I'll post my results tomorrow.
