This race is awesome! I've done it twice, and let's just say, that's not enough for me. Right after I finish, I start talking about what next year is going to be like! This race isn't for the faint of heart, but for the strong. This race requires NO FEAR at the beginning, because everybody starts at the same time. The food after is INCREDIBLE.
I did this race with my Santa Cruz based swim team, it was a fun event to do with a large group of friends. I highly recommend this race. It is well organized and there is great food at the end, panda meat!!!! My team and it decided to do it with out a wet suit some of us used Vaseline to keep warm but if you don't want to brave the cold there is a wet suit heat. Warning some people get kind of vicious in the cold water expect to get a few scraps and bruises.
