Archive for December, 2009

I apologize to my readers for the several month hiatus I have taken from blogging. I have spent the off season training very hard but have not written about it. Starting on the 1st of January, I will be back blogging with a vengeance. I have a very large swim goal for 2010 and I will be divulging the details as they start to fall into place.

In the mean time, I will be finishing out my incredible year of swimming with a swim from Candlestick to the Golden Gate Bridge on 12/29. All very familiar swimming territory to me now. Last year at this time I had never even tested those waters. What a difference a year makes!

My off season training regimen has been great. I am so excited to be working with my personal dry-land trainer, Doug Ingersoll, who has set me up and kept me motivated for the past few month.  A few weeks back I did a swim from Sausalito to SERC and I have never felt so strong in the water. It took me 2 hours to complete the 6+ mile swim and I approached that swim as an all out sprint for the entire time. I had a new level of stamina that I can only attribute to the time I have spent training with Doug. Just think how strong I will be feeling in a few more months.

So as we come to a close of another year, I always take the time to reflect back and look forward. As a goal minded person I can confidently say that I achieved all that I set out to do in 2009. That is the greatest gift I could ever give myself.  Let’s see what I can do about 2010.

Thank you to my readers for following my liquid adventure journey for the past year. Stay tuned to see what is next….

Peace, love and happy swimming in 2010!!!!
