Tony,
According to my calculations, the top guy went about 1:07/100M for the 10K. Ouch! (I'm not a math whiz, though, so I may be wrong.)
And congratulations on the Alcatraz swim. Glad you escaped.

I liked what you had to say so much i posted it twice.
That speed is nearly incomprehensible. I swim something like a 1:08 going all out for a single 100 meters and these guy did it 30 times in a row! Sheesh!
Actually they do it 100x in a row. But the open water distance measurements are not very precise.
I would guess that the top distance swimmers can hold about 1:02-1:03 for 1 hour - long-course....
