Yesterday someone at the pool suggested I should use a snorkel to go along with my training fins.  Should I be discouraged?  To rebuild by ego and forget about swimming I biked 3 hrs. today & threw in a few miles running.

Fundraising Update: Thank you to our first donor, “Anonymous”, for your $500 donation and words of encouragement – “I am proud to support the Iron Team.  Don’t stop thinking about all the patients and their families whose lives will be impacted by your efforts.”

Training update: I’m humiliated, I swam freestyle 18.5 yards today, with fins. Felt pretty proud of myself and getting up the nerve to try the 25 yard pool. Then I read Tony’s entry, a whole 1/2 mile! JK
