Some of you know that I am training for two triathlons at the end of August: a sprint triathlon on August 25th (in Hamilton), and a Olympic triathlon on Sept. 1st (in Frenchtown). To prepare for the open swim for the Olympic triathlon, I did a 1.1 mile swim in Polson Bay this last Saturday. I completed the long stretch in 38 minutes - which was a personal best considering this last May was the first time I stepped into a lap pool - ever! Since then, I have been swimming 2-4 times a week with at the local YMCA, and have found a great group of people to train with.

Way to go Melissa! Such an accomplishment! I swim like a rock, so to me doing something like that sounds completely out of reach! :)
