8 Mile Lake Swim

On August 5, 2006 I swam the eight miles it takes to cross Lake Champlain as part of the 10th annual Burlington YMCA Lake Swim.   Though it was not technically a race, I finished in 4 hours and 29 minutes, 7th out of 35 entrants.   Five women finished before me, testifying to their superiority when it comes to endurance, and over me in general.  Speaking of superior women, Lindsey Hescock provided support by kayack, supplying direction and offering water and food (similar to her role out of the water as well).  Thanks Lindsey
