Wait!!! Swimming Isn't Finished!

The pool events are over, but there are still two swimming events left: the men's and women's open water marathon swim (10k). It's a new event this year so hopefully they'll have some coverage

The women's race is 9pm tuesday, the men's 9pm wednesday.. If you thought the start of a triathlon was crazy, wait'll you see these fish duke it out...

here's an article about one of the athletes:
