CLEARWATER, FL- Swimmers enjoyed
near-perfect conditions at the 13th Annual Whiskey Joe's Tampa
Bay Marathon Swim on Saturday. Craig Lenning was overall
champion, as he swam the Bay in 10 hours, 17 minutes, while a
relay team of 6 UNC Tarheel swimmers were able to finish
ahead of the entire field with a very fast time of 8 hours, 6
minutes.
The 24 mile ultra-distance race
starts at the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and ends at Whiskey
Joe's Bar & Grill on the Courtney Campbell Causeway in
Tampa in a race that covers the entire length of Tampa Bay.
The event is held each year to celebrate Earth Day and the
revitalization of Florida's largest estuary and is the longest
race that is sanctioned by United States Masters Swimming.
Since this event was first staged in 1998, it
