12.5 Mile Swim Around Key West

Tabitha JonesHave you ever considered swimming around an entire island? I haven’t. Sounds fun though, right? We think so! Tabitha Thornhill Jones, a teammate of our Bike Accident Attorneys racing team (#BAARacing) is entered into this epic swim race around the island Key West off of the southern tip of Florida.

The race starts 6:30a EST tomorrow Saturday June 4th. Tabitha is an awesome swimmer with a big heart and a healthy dose of determination. She will do well. She has trained for months logging hours and hours of open water swimming in nearby Arizona lakes as well as too many pool sessions to count. She is ready for this.

Although there are athletes who compete in this race on a relay team, Tabitha is going for it solo! As a solo swimmer you have 8 hours to complete the swim distance of 12.5 miles around the island. All swimmers have a support vessel (usually a friend or family member in a kayak) alongside you at all times. This race started back in 1977 and has continued to this day as one of the more epic swim races in the country. Athletes from all over the world flock Key West to make an attempt to swim around the island.

Wishing our teammate and friend Tabitha the best of luck tomorrow. Go get it girl!
