A video perspective of the Chesapeake Bay Swim

Thanks to Mary Ruppe and her production crew. Check out the race start. Why is one swimmer wearing a green cap? Watch this if you want a first-hand perspective of packet pick-up, the mass start, and the race finish. Mary, the second-place woman, made it across in 1:52 — an hour faster than I did.

I was also wondering about that green cap!

- I know. They’re so adamant about your caps. I think green was one of last year’s colors.

I swam this race (and finished!) in 1991 and 1992. Fletcher Hanks was the coordinator back then. Does anyone have access to an archive of the finishers for those years?
