24 Hour Relay...Kids vs. Masters.... an interesting idea and fundraiser. This past weekend the MUSAC swim club tried to race each other around Lake Muskoka...which by bike is a great ride!
Our masters team started out with 6 of us hitting the pool against the 23 youngsters...the youngsters quickly took the lead...but we noticed that they were all excited and playing around in the pool...while we rested between our legs... man some of those youngsters had staying power...one particular little guy (8 years old) was still up and playing around in the water at 1am and back at it at 6am!!
In the end, our Masters team had 17 people participate in the 24 hour time period, with 5 of us staying the entire 24 hour time period. I swam 11.5km in the 24 hour time period (doing 200-1500m at a time depending on the time and number of people). First time in my life that I have ever swam 1500m at 3am....the Masters team chipped away at the distance, in the end we completed 83km around Lake Muskoka, pretty impressive and even better because we crushed the youngsters, much to their disbelief! I am almost back to normal after spending 24 hours on the pool deck and we are already strategizing for next years 24 hour relay!
