I've been Examined...

Karen Fair, one of our friendly Lake Cochituate swimmers, is also a writer for the Boston Examiner. She covers swimming topics, so she asked if I would tell her a little about what it's like to train for these swims without a set team as I did for so long leading up to the Channel. Many thanks to all who helped me along the way- a solo swim is indeed a team effort and everyone who trained with, followed along, or coached me made a difference.
