June, 2008 Results
Oh my – 2008 is already half over! The good news is that the USMS Fitness Event “Go the Distance” (GTD) continues to grow and the participants are swimming more miles than ever! Welcome to Peter H, Conrad, Susan, Martin, Peter R., Rick, Mary and Matthew – may you have fun with this event and be inspired by all of the achievements of our participants!
This month more folks (60) achieved the “150 miles” distance milestone than any other GTD milestone – way to go! There were also 17 participants that have now achieved the first distance milestone of “50 miles” – cheers to you – you did it!
Of course there are many more congratulations to be made: To the 51 swimmers that have now swum over “100 miles”, the 34 participants that cruised past “200 miles” , another 27 stroked past the “250 miles” milestone, 16 more made it to “300 miles” and 5 to the "365.25 miles (average mile a day)" Milestone!
And there’s more! There were 9 more folks that have now swum over “400 miles” and 4 more over “500 miles”. Finally, drum roll please …. Carrie Kostopulos (GTD Xtreme participant) has now swum 1186.67 miles this year!
So how far have we swum in 2008? We are now at a whopping 81,647.26 miles !!! Our group average is 145.28 miles… yeah! In the last GTD reminder – you were offered another challenge in addition to the GTD milestones – to negative split this year (in distance swum)- which means to swim at least one more mile in the second half of 2008 than you did in the first! I received numerous replies from folks who will take on this challenge…. I wish you all lots of fun with this challenge – and hope you will enjoy the “back half” of the year!
