On the East Shore

I have been constantly thinking about the GG Bridge to the San Mateo Bridge swim this Saturday. I think , 22+ miles, 6+ hours and then I feel a little sick to my stomach. Rob asked me today why I was so nervous about this swim. I think it is because it is the next BIG step in my training. I know that if I can just make it past the 6 hour mark, then I am really moving in the right direction. To qualify for the English Channel you have to do a 6 hour swim prior to your swim date. I will just use this swim as my Lake Tahoe qualifier. I am looking forward to getting back in the bay. I have learned to really love the salt water this year.

I called Roper on Monday but he was battling a bad cold and didn’t want to talk. I guess I will just have to wait until Friday to see who he has recruited to be a part of my crew. I am really excited for this swim. It is a big deal. Roper said only 1 other person has accomplished it. I know I can do it!
