.waimea bay swim.
What are you doing on July 22?
Even if the answer is something somewhat legitimate such as "playing with my new puppy," you should still cancel these plans and swim the Cholo's Waimea Bay event with me.
[please, pretty please?]
It's the third [not to mention shortest, only 2,000 meters] of four open water North Shore swimming events held annually each summer [obviously, when the north shore is flat and there aren't 20 foot waves breaking at Waimea]. Back in the day [ie. 8-10 years ago] Rainbow Aquatics used to help host the event. Those were the glory years when I used to actually be able to swim 6,000-7,000 meters a day without breaking a sweat and foolishly, refused to swim Waimea Bay and the Waikiki Roughwater. Now I actually have to do silly things like "train" [which for me is swimming 2,000-3,000 ... because that is an actual challenge].
For the past few years I believe that Surf n' Sea and a few other North Shore venues have taken up sponsoring the various races. It's $30 to register [I know, quite pricey considering the fact that I don't even think you get a t-shirt anymore] but I think it's worth it granted there's nice weather [hope, hope, hope].
Reasons #9,230 and #48 to swim Cholo's Waimea Bay include "spending more time with Crystal" and "having the privelege of watching Crystal flounder in the water for 2,000 meters, having her butt soundly beaten by a bunch of in-shape 10 year olds." Sounds like fun right? And if I can sacrifice surfing on a Saturday morning to drag my butt to Waimea for the 9:00 am start time, you can too!
Entry deadline is July 14. I say this to remind myself more than to remind you.
Application for all 4 races.
