Are You Living It?

I love this picture taken from Joel’s 8-mile Lake Champlain swim. It looks like he’s going to swim right off of the horizon. There is such a zen and peace that comes with long distance open water swimming - it’s fast becoming my favorite of the three sports (not so much in races when you’re getting run over or running over 2200 other folks but at least in training).

Nice job Joelly.

My favorite (well - cofavorite - his wife Deanna rocks too) chiropractor and fellow (much faster) Master’s swimmer Dave Swensen has just been named president of the New England Marathon Swimming Association. If you love to do open water or have a boat and would like to assist open water marathoners (Joel had to have a friend boat alongside for the swim) check out their website at www.nemarathonswimassoc.org.
