Great article attached. Not into swimming but the running, very much so. It has consumed my life the very way climbing did. Now that my climbing partners have taken to raising families and surfing, i find peace through running. You do not need a training partner, and you can do it when ever you want. I sometimes get up at 3am to get a two hour training run in before work.
Ultra running is a very pers thing. The scene is very different to half / full marathon. Even better are the cross country ultras. fancy running from the base of Mt. Bogong up the staircase to the summit then on to the summit of Mt. Hotham? Fantastic experience.
AURA ; Australian Ultra Runners Assoc is very much like, say the VCC. A governing body looking after the interests of ultra runners. Most people would not of even heard of AURA let alone ultra running.
Anyway, I still love getting on CS to see what is going on in the world of climbing. Familiar names in familiar places, on unfamiliar territory.
Climbers are amazing people, All walks of life, all abilities, different ambitions. Nothing like camping with your mates, a raging fire, plenty of grog, a badly tuned guitar, and relentless bullshit stories from the days efforts.

Happy cranking
