Another Record Falls In USMS Postal Swim -- November 4, 1999

Tod Spieker, 52, The Olympic Club, devastated the record in the men's 50-54 age group for the 3,000 yard USMS Postal Swim last weekend. His time of 32:48.65 took almost three minutes off the old mark. Spieker's time also bettered the 45-49 record (34:12) and just missed the mark in the 40-44 age group (32:41.6).

Spieker even-split his swim, going 10:55, 10:56 and 10:57 for each 1,000 yards, and averaging 1:05.6 per 100. He touched at 18:01.6 at the 1650.
