@Munatones just posted the swim announcement on Daily News and the cat is officially out of the bag for New Jersey's newest marathon swim, C3 - Cape Circumnavigation Challenge. The swim is 15.1 miles and will take participants (swimmers and their kayakers) around "America's Oldest Seashore Resort". Swim offers the taste of the Cape May Canal, Atlantic Ocean, and Delaware Bay...what other swim offers you three bodies of water for the price of one?!?! If you have any questions please contact me directly. Rather than saying the event will open for applicants on a specific date, applications are being accepted effective immediately and gives the community a new event in September which is rare for the North East. Event Website is www.shoreswim.com and part of the proceeds will be donated to a charity, yet to be named (but I have a solid idea of a local/global benefactor). Swim is set for Saturday, September 14th with a preview of the course onboard the Spirit of Cape May for all participants the night before.

Looking forward to it but I guess I'll have to start working on the bilateral breathing again or I'll miss all of the scenery.
but seriously, best of luck with the planning of this event.... checking my calendar!
...anything worth doing is worth overdoing.
Perhaps I should have clarified and stated three different styles of water....canal, ocean and bay!

For personal reasons I've pulled myself from this swim. I've spoken with @jcmalick and gotten his permission to sell my spot.
I have a spot on this swim with a volunteer kayaker provided by the organizers. If you are interested and qualified for this swim, pm me and I'll give you details.
This is a great opportunity to take part in this swim (registration already closed!) at a discount.
Cheers,
Mike

Grace won. The first half of the swim, through the channel and harbor was flat and super fast. I thought of DN when I was rocketing past bridge pillions holding a 3-4 mph pace. We payed for it out in the Atlantic. High winds at times, rough surf and then the rip and a headwind and swells in the Bay.
It was the first year and I am sure next year will be even better

And for those worried, YES I did make it to my packet pickup in time. Triathlon in the morning, but setting up this evening reminded me yet again why I love the marathon swim community so much. Camaraderie and sportsmanship, plus one hell of a sense of adventure and great humor. Kudos to all who gave it a try, even if your day didn't turn out as planned.
PS - Here's a link to a GPS track I made with an app on my cell phone that was onboard the kayak:

Kudos to Jason for what must have been like a second job in pulling this together!
Two thumbs way up! Definately a must to get on your competition "resume."

He's a really great swimmer. Doesn't go far though.
Keeps bumping into the fishbowl wall.
(A for effort on C3, Leonard!) (*)
