The Second Annual MSF Global Marathon Swimming Awards are upon us!
Please submit your nominations for outstanding solo marathon swim by a female in 2013, by commenting on this thread.
Please, only one nomination per comment. Individual forum members may contribute more than one nomination, but please try to spread them out if possible so others have the opportunity to nominate.
To submit a private nomination, send a PM to the Admins ( @evmo and/or @loneswimmer) and we will submit it on your behalf.
The following types of swims are not eligible to be nominated as Solo Swim of the Year:
Relays
Stage swims
Swims shorter than 10 kilometers
Swims without an independent observer
Uncompleted swims (DNF's)
Swims that violate the generally accepted rules of traditional marathon swimming, e.g.,
- Use of any swim costume or device that improves speed, buoyancy, or heat retention (beyond that provided by a single porous, textile swimsuit, single non-neoprene cap, goggles, grease, and earplugs).
- Supportive contact with people or watercraft during the swim.

30 hours in the water from noon on Friday to 6:00 pm on Saturday.
AND, just 6 weeks after her 44 mile swim on Lake Tahoe.
It was an extraordinary and inspiring swim to be part of. Tell you that, Mr Man.
