Killer swim last night! 17 of us swam across Lake Waconia, approximately 2.5 miles. We enjoyed the escort of 11 Kayaks a pontoon and two ski boats! My stroke was strong the entire way which helped me to feel confident. About 2/3’s of the way across we swam over a shallow weed-covered reef! It freaked me out a bit as the weeds came nearly to the surface and lasted some 100 yards, twice.
A brutal training weekend lies before me. You’ll recall last weekend I ran 14 and biked 100. This weekend I run 20 on Saturday. On Sunday I bike 60 followed by a 7 mile brick run!

Ironman Wisconsin…23 days and counting
In an earlier post I celebrated that we have reached our financial goal! As suspected sponsorship continues to come in increasing our support for the Kenya Children’s Fund.
My friend Greg from the Wednesday night Gear West ride sponsored through the KCF website. Greg runs Ironman Louisville on August 25th – he’s a great athlete ready to compete – good luck Greg! Good friends Jeff and Rebeca sent in their KCF donation this week as well. A couple of years ago Jeff supported his mother’s battle with cancer by creating a benefit and successfully rode his bike from Minnesota to Michigan, impressive for sure! Family friends Jerry and Dianne sent in their sponsorship this week, so grateful for their gift and words of encouragement!
