Concerning Choptank tidal flows that day, check out Jude Apple's post on that subject at Slowtwitch and the chart he prepared. Uh oh, maximum flow rates are right when we're in the water trying to battle the currents. Thanks for the warning, Jude!

As long as you aren't in the first wave, you'll be able to watch the impact of the current on earlier swimmers. This will give you a very good idea about how to plan the swim.

I won't be able to - I'm in the first wave after the pros! 6:55AM! If they're in trouble, it's TOO LATE for me!! Uh oh!
