5 weeks until MIMS!!!!
Am I ready for a 28 mile swim? NO!!!! I’m experiencing a very bad motivational slump and have been very slack indeed.
Here’s a picture of what I looked like after last year’s 8hr 36 minute swim. I thought it might be motivational but on second thoughts….
I plan on doing two long swims over the next two weeks before tapering for the big day. Most of my taper time will be spent acclimatizing myself to the cold. Lake Michigan is still in the 50’s, so I’m hoping that the expected 60’s temperatures around Manhattan will feel balmy. One can always hope…
This year I’m fundraising for the American Macular Degeneration Foundation. My grandfather lost his eyesight to macular degeneration and my mother recently lost a large portion of her eyesight to this disease.
If anyone would like to contribute, please click on the following link, and follow the prompts starting with “donate now”.
This is still a preliminary beg, but I’ll no doubt get more creative and and quite possibly forceful with my extortion attempts.
If this doesn’t satisfy your urge to give, I’m willing to help out even more by accepting donations to help pay my hotel bill…
