So you did this without a wetsuit? Amazing! Even with a wetsuit it's amazing. That's a long time to be in the water.
I'm taking swimming lessons from a guy who did the 4.4 mile Great Chesapeake Bay Swim a couple weeks ago in 2:34:44. Yeah, I think I can learn something from him about swimming faster.

Nope, no wetsuit. The lake was actually beautiful and the water felt great...it just went on for a while!
I was talking to my grandmother, and telling her about the swim. I told her that if you wanted help or rest that they would stop a canoe for you if you needed it, but that there was no WAY i was stopping for it unless I had to quit the race. My grandmother told me that it reminder her of me stubbornly trying to swim across the pool at age 4 in swimming lessons and refusing to stop. Yes, her word was stubborn.
