You did 2.5 miles when you've only gone .6?? Holy smokes- Lime- you're studly!!!!! Wowzers!
Did you walk back to the start? I am in awe of you. The only time I swam that far (and only 2.4 at that) was at my IM- and that was because I HAD to- you did 2.5 for FUN!
Sounds like you had a great swim, albeit a tiring one! Congrats!

Now... are you going to swim the Straits with them????
