Ok I did it! I swam the last leg of the triple crown the Deer Creek 10mile. Unfortunately, my garmin lost gps so I am sending GPS of the follow boat which was a ski boat so it hung out to protect me but didn’t follow all the way to the end for example
Anyway sending the boats Strava, my garmin 2k splits (for some annoying reason it converts to yards in the app) and a few pictures.
Total meters 16,734 and it took 6hr 56 mins and 25 seconds dry land to dry land.
Anyway thanks for putting thistogether it was a good experience to push myself.
See attached GPS and let me know if you need any more info.. Record whichever time you prefer:
I will be on vacation out of state the week of Deer Creek marathon Swim, so I self certified the Deer Creek 10 miler this past weekend. I guess I overshot the turn around point because my end distance was 19.483 K which is closer to 12 miles. Better safe than sorry. It was a really satisfying day. My arms were trashed by the end. So kudos to those of you who swim 2x or 3x the duration and distance.
Here are my stats with some guestimation for the 10 Mile mark if you prefer that.
Unnassisted: No wetsuit just a safety buoy in tow
Total GPS activity record (including 15 minutes, Kid drift and swim at end)
Date: 7/19
Start time: 7:33am
End time: 2:30
Total Elapsed time 6 hr 57 Minutes (including drifting and playing with kids after I called it, forgot to stop watch.
Adjusted 12 miles Swim (Without kid drift and swim See Split 1):
Seth is the 37th person to log a 10K at the GSL Marina, and probably the only 10K swimmer for 2020 given the race was cancelled this year due to Covid-19 restrictions.
