Here's a fitness challenge for all of you tough guys out there who continue
to claim to be "in-shape" :

7AM, every Saturday morning at the International Swimming Hall of Fame in
Fort Lauderdale, FL
The objective is to ocean swim with the Gold Coast Hammerheads (along with
George Irvine and several other guys who swim with them every weekend). 

You can bring your fins, paddles, ex-Navy Seal dive buddies, and even
scooters to help, but your objective is to stay with these guys for the
entire swim, and I am willing to bet that not one of you who continue to
pontificate about your level of "fitness" can hold pace with them for the
entire swim (which is atleast 3 miles, often 5 or more). 

Yes, they swim faster than a scooter, and for several hours they will
continue to do so.

This is a real, true, hard-core workout - not fin swimming, not 20 minutes
on a treadmill , not 60 minutes of step aerobics - these guys will go for
2+ hours with the hammer down all the way....after which they  head to the
pool for an hour  of Masters swim practice, or go for a 5 mile run -
demonstrating REAL cardiovascular fitness.

They will definitely make you aware of what kind of shape you're really in.

Good luck
