I swam 2.4 miles today!  (Or thereabouts).  I NEVER thought I could have come this far when I first swam (splashed) a lap 4 short years ago.  Ironman is looking more and more like an attainable goal instead of a pie in the sky.  I just wanted to give some encouragement for those who feel like the swim will be the bane of their existence.  It does get better...but it does take persistence and hard work.  It is SO worth it though, so keep at it!

Great!  I take it from your location that you did it in a pool?  I think it is more of a challenge to keep track of all those laps.

Keep up the good work.

Great to hear you accomplished that goal!

So, is it looking like an IM within a year or two for you?
