Measuring a 1/2 Mile

Issue #1 When is 800m not 800m? ...when Garmin says it isn't. Swam the course mid-day today under less than ideal conditions. NW 4-6 knots (mild chop). Not sure if the GPS readings are off OR if the distance from Buoy #1 to Buoy #9 is in fact a little over 900m. If anyone else has tracked their swim around the perimeter, I'd be interested in obtaining your recorded distance(s). May have to move a couple buoys to close the gap. See you in the Water! -Stokedbloke 115 First St., Collingwood, ON...

Final

Issue #1 just a few more to go Sunday - July 27th. The last of the swim buoys went in today. Nice to see some folks already enjoying the Open Water Course. See you in the water!

Sunset Point - the frozen version

Dispatch > il Miglio Bianco panorama shot Here's what Sunset looked like back on March 9th ('25). A little frigid to say the least! -Stokedbloke 115 First St., Collingwood, ON L9Y 4W3Unsubscribe · Preferences

What about Strava?

Dispatch > Does a segment currently exist on Strava? Not that I'm aware of... Will someone create the segment(s)? Undoubtedly so... Ideally, the community will arrive at a consensus as to a best practice for creating the segment(s). Segment A: 800M (1-way) Segment B: 1600M (there & back) Etc... If anyone has suggestions when it comes to all things Strava, please get in touch! -Stokedbloke 115 First St., Collingwood, ON L9Y 4W3Unsubscribe · Preferences
