"It is the hardest race in the world. The conditions vary so much....the ocean and the cold water, the tides and the currents, the warm water in the back bay, then the cold water again in the last 400 meters....and the strongest current of the race is at the end where you swim for your life !" 8/10/03, Angela Maurer, Germany
It is the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life,” says former winner David Aliva

 of Blacksburg, Virginia. “And it always will be.”
