Tri-Boris

I am training very hard, last week I did 70,000 yards in 58 degrees. It was a tough week. I did a 6 hour effort that was pretty solid. I got a flu though because of the constant cold water, but I am getting out of it and feeling strong again. The water is going up. It was 59 degree today and it felt much better. 60 degree would be ideal for the crossing. I have to be on call for the swim starting next Monday, and my last training swim is tomorrow after that resting and getting ready mentally for the crossing!!!

My mental plan is to go past the night hours and then focus in one feed at a time, one arm after the other.Channel swimmers are a different breed, they are tough and mentally strong. Its an eye opening to be part of this group of athletes.

I also want tosent a big hug to all my athletes and friends, to the kids at Rockway, remember this "always prepare for the worst and hope for the best" that is the mantra of the Channel swimmers!!!
