How Many Strokes?

I thought it would be interesting for everyone to analyze how many strokes they typically take for a 5K, 10K or marathon swim! For example, during my Catalina Channel crossing, I took 37,740 strokes (9.25 hr x 60 min x 68 strokes/minute). I know Stephen Redmond analyzed that his amazing 22+ hour Molokai Channel crossing put him up around 80,000 strokes!
How many strokes have you put in?
...I can only imagine how many strokes Penny Palfrey will be taking across the Florida Straits!

We're all just carbon, water, starlight, oxygen and dreams

The last couple hours of that swim I did a couple weeks ago, I would try to alternate, 100 strokes free, 100 on my back. I'm sure that my count to 100 was a lot closer to 130 at times, though. Hard to keep count correctly when you're near delerium.
