Of course she took the high road. It'd be kinda funny and shocking for a nun to be bitter "I coulda beat the cut off but for that fracking wet suit ". Instead as always, grace under pressure.

I was moved by her philosophy of "thank G*d for this. It protected me from what could have been a bad situation later on".

It sounds like the conditions were tough on the day. And to envision her struggling to make adjustments in the cold water ... what an inspiration!

I have no doubt that the IM community knows who awarded her the suit and willing to bet heads are rolling as we speak But good on her not to name or blame them and instead give credit where credit is due
