What does everyone think? The water is warm, but hoping it does not get much warmer for the athletes. There have been some warm, sunny and humid days!

Coming up on August 4 and 5th at 0630 in Japan/1430 on the west coast of USA/2130 UTC.

    Watched the men's replay last night (watching women tonight). Winner averaged around 1:05 per 100 meters....I can't wrap my head around that

    So, was Pardoe wearing Swedes?! I imagine an unfortunate elbow to the eye socket would be pretty damaging regardless of goggle choice.

    I hope that one day I can become competitive in these kind of elite competitions. Although I hate hot water I still prefer this more than fighting against waves and currents in a channel with only a pilot boat next to me.

    Moreover, as the winner in the 10 km race has also got a medal in the pool 1500 m race, I am further convinced that a good 1500 m pool swimmer also makes a good marathon swimmer as well. In the future I will shift my focus into the pool 1500 m event as a mean to improve my marathon swimming.

    Also, congrats to Billy getting the 22nd place in the Olympics!
