Thank you to all of you who responded to my e-mail. I appreciate it very much. I went for a 14 mile bike ride yesterday and then went swimming today and swam for about 15-20 minutes. It was the first time in my life I've swam that far doing the freestyle!!!!!! I felt really good about how far I've come in my swimming this year. Next year I'm hoping to do the swim without a wetsuit. The pool was certainly a whole lot easier to swim in compared to the lake!

Also, I'm really curious about the distance on the bike ride so I e-mailed Danskin and hopefully they'll send it on to the person incharge of it in Seattle. I'll let you know if I get an answer!
