Cruz's Patti Bauernfeind
completes Manhatten Island Marathon
On Saturday, June 23, 2012, Patti Bauernfeind of Santa Cruz Masters completed the Manhattan Island Marathon Swim, 28.5 miles around the Big Apple. Patti finished in a time of 8:09.18 for 4th place among women and 11th place overall out of 38 solo swimmers. The overall winner was 22 year old Abby Nunn from Richmond, Virginia. She finished in 7:30.26, 17 minutes ahead of the first place male swimmer.
Patti's coach and crew member, Coach Joel Wilson, said she encountered generally good conditions throughout the swim that starts at Battery Park at the southern tip of Manhattan, goes north up the East River, through Hell's Gate into the Harlem River, then east into the Hudson River. The last 10 miles of the swim go south in the Hudson River. Much of this final part of the swim was quite rough and a significant challenge for all the swimmers
