Halfway Day for half-crazy guys

We weren't about to let a dead boat battery stop us Saturday as Coburn Powell, Brett Gore and I set out to complete our Halfway Day. We do the X-TREME! each year, and we find that it works pretty well a few weeks prior to complete half of each PEC. 

So, we swim a few miles, paddle seven, walk seven, and, heck, bicycle the whole thing. We take our time and it takes up most of our day. 

Jan and Walter Palmer did a similar event Saturday.

What Halfway Day does effectively is scare the heck out of us into some real training, and we lay it on hot and heavy for the next few weeks. We can sure recommend that no matter what PEC you're working on, if you're able to do at least half of it now, you'll be in better shape. 

We don't really recommend using jumper cables in knee-deep water, however.
