  • LOL amateur pace :D

  • @jeromed2 As far as I know the winner did it in just over the hour mark. And it is a mainly amateur event. All the more respect for them for staying in that water for the times they did. I always reckon it's an endurance more than a race.

  • Awesome. How long did it take to swim that distance?

  • @Ramshobraja The average time was just under 4 hours that year. In 2008 swimmers were still coming in after 6 hours

  • @irishdigitaldiver slow times! Pros who swim 32K do it in like 6h30 - 7h15

  • @iQuirks Its been so long I had to look this up on the Avid, Lux Æterna was the original, composed by Clint Mansell which ran throughout the movie Requiem for a Dream. But it was re-orchestrated for the Lord of the Rings, which is the version I use here. I believe it is under the credit of Corner Stone Cues Requiem for a Tower. Thanks for the comment!

  • @irishdigitaldiver Nope. "Lux Æterna" from the movie "Requiem For A Dream". Amazing song, no?

  • I think its called Requiem for a Tower

  • whats the name of the intro song?

  • Last years winner did it in about 2hr 45mins,...so I think the average is around 3hrs 15/3hrs 35
