it's (nearly) official - i've agreed to swim the pennock island challenge this sunday. that's right, 8.2 miles in open water, in two days. and no training whatsoever. woot.
i'm teaming up with a swim mom, who also hasn't been training, but is a natural super-athlete. and we have to finish in 5 hours or they pull us out of the water. oh boy. after she let me know we were still on, i panicked, but pulled it together and called a dive shop to see about renting a wetsuit since i don't have one & am not crazy about swimming that long in just a regular swim suit. it's possible, and is actually in the "naked" category which i'd like to someday attempt, but not my first time! luckily, the shop had one available in my size, it fit (squeeeeeeeeeze!), and amazingly will only cost $10 for the weekend. score!
