Anyone doing LRL this year? I'm still trying to put together a schedule, and NY isn't too far away from my future home in DC.

Please join the Lake Issyk Kul Swimming Federation on FB!

    ...anything worth doing is worth overdoing.

    What do folk do for feeds on LRL? towing a bottle for the whole race seems like a bit of a hassle...

    It is a fast swim... most will finish between 1.5 and 2 hours. I've never seen anyone take more than a gel or two with them.

    Even the kayakers can pick up a few feeds! I found a feed last year while corralling the swimmers floating in Lady Hudson...thanks mysterious swimmer! (Truth be told, I never consumed it based on the fact that it was probably tucked in the back of someone's costume!)

    I am (maybe) considering LRLH for 2013 .... has anyone on here travelled to it as part of one of Swimtrek's Iconic Swim tours?

    I tried to convince myself, but, orange flavour electrolyte, mixed with hot chocolate,
    tastes nothing like Terry's Chocolate Orange ....
