Didn't run the previous course so I can't verify the accuracy of that, but I can attest that we did some hot climbing that day. Ow.

Cool! by the way...WHAT THE CRAP HAPPENED TO YOUR ARMS?! Where you attacked by bees?!

Now that I am done channeling Danny Devito from "Twins", dude, you're a beast. Keep up the good work.

I joined a Masters Swimming group with a coach at the local Y.

This is my 3rd week. Swam 1700 yards in drills. Got cramps but stayed with it tonite.

My first goal:1000 yards nonstop

2nd Goal: 1600 yards nonstop

I had a heart attack this past Jan...one stent later,

I needed cardio...picked swimming.

Count me in too! I could certainly do well to drop about 10-15 pounds!

I am impressed with many of the posts/people on this thread, but Rab and Reverend Graham--wow. Just the mental toughness required to keep going for that long is impressive. I've been put through my paces mentally and physically over the years, but you guys are awesome!
