Two more days! I'm just a walking talking bundle of nervous energy. Tonight the team will come together for our Send Off Dinner, a few hours of camaraderie and laughter and eating before we head home to prepare for our swim. There is something a little sad about this night. We are a team, but this is a very individual sport. We've trained together, pushed each other and cheered one another on, but on Saturday, we will swim alone.
I find I swim best when I can forget about everyone else in the water, focus on my own stroke, my own breath, my own body, but it can be a very lonely endeavor. On Saturday, one person will hold the key to my success and to tell you the truth, right now she's a hot mess. However, I'm never really alone. I think of you all often as I swim, those of you who have gotten me this far with your comments, shares and words of encouragement. I ask for your thoughts and prayers over the next 36 hours or so, for myself, for my team and for those we swim for.
If you have not yet donated, there is still time. As of this moment I have $714 dollars left to raise to meet my personal goal.
Thank you for reading, for your donations, for your support. I am so grateful to all my family and friends for getting me this far.
