<p>Cake?  Looki?  anyone else?</p>
<p> </p>

Awesome challenge Monica! Give me another year or so and I'll do it again. Goes down as one of the coolest race memories!

<p>You people are all crazy <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/roll_eyes.gif" style="width:15px;height:15px;" title=""></p>

 

[em73]

<p>think of it this way - it will theoretically take me far less time to swim that distance than it does to run a marathon.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>theoretically.  I should probably start swimming more often.</p>

<p>MG: you better start doing arm work so you can kayak back and forth at your place with her swimming <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//smile.gif"> <br>

<p>Cool! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not on my radar for next year, but I think I'd like to do it some year.</p>
<p>That Swim to the Moon 5K swim in MI sounds cool, too!</p>

<p>Oh my, wake up Looki!  Is the lottery open now?   I was reading through it the other day, and for some reason I was thinking it didn't open until December.  Need to get on it!  If I get in, I would love to do it.  I think.  Maybe. <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/shock.gif" style="width:15px;height:15px;" title=""></p>

 

[em73]

<p>it's open from now I think until the end of the month.</p>

 

[LookiLoo]

<p>In!!  Well, in the lottery, that is.  Now I'm scared I may actually get in. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Edited to add:  any clue as to how difficult it is to get in through the lottery?</p>

 

[pcsronbo]

Go for it!! Well, at least the lottery!  I don't know what the chances are of getting in,but it looks like if you are picked, you have 48 hours to actually sign up for the race.  It would be fantastic if we had a LIT meet-up for this <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//smile.gif"></p>

<p> </p>
<p>Yeah, go for it!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Or maybe you'll be like me - they'll have you entered without you actually making the attempt to sign up (from my e-mail early in September)</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><em>Dear <span style="color:#FF0000;"><b>SAN DIEGO-CORONADO SHARKFEST</b></span> swimmer,<br><br>
Congratulations on your entry in the 2nd annual <span style="color:#FF0000;"><b>SAN DIEGO-CORONADO SHARKFEST SWIM</b></span>, scheduled for Sunday, September 19, 2010. You will be swimming 1 mile across San Diego Harbor from the 5th Avenue Landing in San Diego to the foot of the Coronado Bridge on Coronado Island.<br><br><b>This is the official "ENTRANT NEWSLETTER."</b> Nothing will be sent via regular mail. All athletes will pick up their timing chips and swim caps race day morning.</em><br><br>

<p>enabler?  moi?  unlike the NYC marathon, lottery entry is free.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Joe, I'm a little leary of any swim race advertised with the word "SHARKFEST".</p>

 

[mmoonptdeux]

<p>Me too!  That's why I was absolutely <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/shock.gif" style="width:15px;height:15px;" title=""> when I saw that pop up in my e-mail<br><br>

<p>Alright...</p>
<p>I pulled the trigger...</p>
<p>I'm in the lottery.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I left the team field blank, but if several of us get in, I think we should amend our entries to read "Team LIT"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just sayin'!</p>

<p>(ya crazy bunch of enablers)</p>
