That is a long way to swim in open water! Good job! Will you do it again?

You will surely rock that IM swim if you finished 3.2 in just about 2 hours.

That's amazing. I can't even begin to imagine swimming that distance! Congratulations! The IM swim will seem like a breeze compared to that!

I was impressed last year when you reported about this, and I'm doubly impressed this year!! I can't imagine swimming that far (the IM swim was far enough for me). That 2.4 will feel like a BREEZE!!
Congrats!

So you did this without a wetsuit? Amazing! Even with a wetsuit it's amazing. That's a long time to be in the water.
I'm taking swimming lessons from a guy who did the 4.4 mile Great Chesapeake Bay Swim a couple weeks ago in 2:34:44. Yeah, I think I can learn something from him about swimming faster.
