Everything is starting to fall into place for my swim across Tahoe in the first week of August. It is all that I have been thinking about lately. Every time I eat, I think this is fuel for my training, every time I sleep, I think this is rest and recovery, every time I swim, I think I am one stroke closer. I guess that all consuming feeling is what it takes to accomplish this goal.
Thanks to my friend Jenn I now have a boat and a driver. This was a key piece to the puzzle of getting ready. My team is coming together and each person that will be present will have an important roll in helping me achieve my goal. I am hoping that many people will come out and join me on the swim. I have a few friends that have agreed to meet me somewhere on the swim and pace me. I think this will help me make it through the many hours in the water.
I banged out over 17,000 yds in the pool this last weekend. Not too easy to do. It wasn’t hard to keep my arms going, it was just hard to deal with the chlorine for that long. I have been building my yardage and time in the water. I believe I am right on track. I am really looking forward to being in the lake soon. Just a few short months to go on my training. I have been thinking about this goal for 35 years and actively working towards it for 3 years now. All good things, in all good time…
